Contents
Introduction to declarative programming: basic concepts, programming methodology, formal foundations, i.e. recursive functional equations, reduction semantics/reduction strategies, algebraic data structures, pattern matching, polymorphic type systems, type inference, higher-order functions, interactive input/output, detection of program properties (equational reasoning, induction techniques), lambda calculus
Qualification Goals
- Learning a declarative programming language,
- Recognition and application of abstraction in program development,
- Differentiate between different programming paradigms and their application areas,
- Knowledge in testing and verification of programs,
- Mathematical foundations of declarative programming,
- Practice of scientific working methods (recognition, formulation, solving problems, training of abstraction skills),
- Training of oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
None.
