Functional programming

About this programme

This course addresses basic programming principles in functional programming, including recursive functions and data types, anonymous functions, and higher-order functions. Practical programming will be done in a modern functional programming language with support for advanced concepts in functional programming, such as lazy evaluation, pattern matching, monads, and polymorphism. Assessment takes place through a written exam (theory part), and through written reports and oral presentations (practical exercises). To follow your passion.
