Functional Programming

B4B36FUP/BE4B36FUP

An introduction to the techniques of functional programming (using the languages Scheme and Haskell), the advantages and disadvantages of this programming paradigm, and its use in practice. This approach is declarative in the sense that the programmer symbolically describes the problem to be solved, rather than specifying the exact sequence of operations required to solve it. It allows the programmer to focus on the essence of the problem and implement complex algorithms compactly. Functional programming has notable advantages for parallelization and automated verification of algorithms, and the most useful functional programming concepts are increasingly often introduced to standard programming languages. Because of the focus of functional programming on symbols, rather than numbers, functional programming has been heavily used in artificial intelligence fields, such as agent systems or symbolic machine learning.
