- Synopsis:
-
Students will be acquainted with principles of functional and logic programming. They will be able to write their programs in Lisp and Prolog programming languages.
- Requirements:
-
Basic knowledge of imperative programming.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Declarative programming languages. Lambda calculus as a formalism for functional programming.
2. Basic data types and functions in Lisp, lists.
3. Variables, type predicates, recursion and iteration in Lisp.
4. Mapping functionals, control statements.
5. Input and output, macros.
6. Structures, vectors, arrays, hash tables.
7. Implementation of Lisp.
8. Predicate logic, Horns clauses and SLD resolutions as an introduction to Prolog.
9. Predicates, clauses, facts, operators in Prolog.
10. Control of the computation in Prolog, lists.
11. Data structures, input, output.
12. Implementation of Prolog.
13. Logic programming and proof trees - relation to attributed grammars.
- Syllabus of tutorials:
-
1. Recursive programming, solving simple problems in an imperative programming language using recursion.
2. Introduction to the use of Lisp programming environment in computer lab.
3. Simple functions for processing lists in Lisp.
4. Assignment of semestral works.
5. Recursive and iterative solutions, efficiency of recursion.
6. Mapping functionals.
