Learning Outcomes:
Students should be able to write recursive solutions to problems, and to implement those solutions in scheme.
Indicative Module Content:
Recursion, recursive problem solving, functional programming in scheme etc.
Curricular information is subject to change.
This course introduces students to a different style of programming ("functional programming") using a simple, elegant and fun language called Scheme. The course will cover a range of functional programming topics including (but not limited to) function definition, representations using lists, recursion, double recursion, recursive problem solving, and lambda.
