COMP 544: FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Fall 2023 · Section 001 · CRN 11771
An introduction to concepts, principles, and approaches of functional programming. Functional programming is a style of programming where the key means of computation is the application of functions to arguments (which themselves might be functions). This style of programming has become increasingly popular in recent years because it offers important advantages in designing, maintaining, and reasoning about programs in many modern contexts such as web services, multicore programming, and cluster computing. Course work consists of a series of programming assignments in the Scala programming language and various library extensions such as Apache Spark. Cross-list: COMP 311. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for COMP 544 if student has credit for COMP 311.
