Prerequisites

! I015 Intro to Func.Programming
There are no special prerequisities apart from the basic math skills (on the secondary-school level), and certain aptitude for abstract reasoning.

Course objectives (in Czech)

Kurs seznamuje posluchače s funkcionálním programovacím paradigmatem. Prostředí vynucující čistý zápis programů bez vedlejších efektů má mimo jiné přivést studenty k návykům, jež využijí při pozdější tvorbě větších programových celků i v imperativních jazycích. Přednáška je doplněna řadou příkladů, které si lze prakticky vyzkoušet na nepovinných cvičeních.

Syllabus

Basic notions: term, value, evaluation step.
Lambda abstraction.
Higher-order functions, partial application, currying.
Simple types: ground types and type constructors, product types.
Polymorfic types, typing.
User defined type constructors, sum types, recursive types; definitions by patterns.
List constructors, list enumeration and list comprehension.
Evaluation order, strict vs. lazy reduction.
Infinite data structures.
Recursive functions, operations on lists and trees, time complexity.
