CSCI181N PO - Advanced Functional Programming

When Offered: Last offered spring 2020.
Instructor(s): M. Greenberg
Credit: 1

Immutable, higher-order, side-effect free programming combines with various structuring
disciplines (e.g., static type inference, monads) to offer a powerful, alternative viewpoint on
programming. Ideas from functional programming are more than 50 years old, but have only
recently gained acceptance in the mainstream. We will learn Haskell and its idioms, with an eye
towards the language-based thinking of CSCI 131 PO (but none of its formalism). The course
culminates in a project. Prerequisites: CSCI 062 PO.
