Course content

Programming in a functional language. Recursion. Abstract data types. Data directed programming, memoization, object oriented programming, lists and streams. The strengths and weaknesses of functional programming compared to imperativ programming. Semantics for evaluating function calls and interpreting functional programs.

Learning outcome

• master foundational techniques from the paradigm of functional programming.
• be trained in using abstraction to structure programs.
• be able to explain and use recursion in general, as well as know how to distinguish between recursive and iterative processes.
• be able to write and use higher-order functions.
• master techniques for delayed evaluation for working with infinite data structures such as streams.
• have insight in different models for understanding how code is evaluated.

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
