E N D
Goals • Learn new languages quickly • Learn C / C++ fairly well • Learn Racket and Prolog slightly • All paradigms • Understand paradigm differences • Learning new languages and APIs is standard industry practice
Languages of CSC270 Imperative : Commands to take action to change state of program Procedural: Imperative built from subroutines (or functions or methods) Declarative: Describe desired result without listing steps to perform Logical: Program searches for proofs of statements Functional: Defines functions as mathematical functions with set inputs yielding defined outputs avoiding states and changeable data
Collaboration • Group final project • Some other group projects • Getting help from friends/ tutors: • Cite the name / know the code • Getting help from the internet • Cite the website; • if black box code: • then state it • Otherwise, be able to explain any line of code you submit
Final Project • Puzzle Generator • Randomly generate different puzzles of one type • Display the puzzle • Solve the puzzle • Ask for solution and evaluate response • Generate some possible solutions (more than one if available) • Tech details • 3 languages • Full written specification • Pass data via files
Myprogramminglab • Need to purchase this • Usually with your textbook • C and C++ • Weekly homework • Helpful prompts
Organization • C & Starting Prolog: Test • C++ : Test • Racket & Prolog: Cumulative Final • Assigned reading on syllabus • 6-10 hours homework per week, more for project • Work on panther or local, but will grade from a run on panther • Short quizzes occasionally
