Course Information

Professor Neil Ghani
Functional Programming 2013/14

Lectures

Lecture Slides

Other sources of information on Haskell are Graham Hutton's book and Simon Thompson's book. While I am not following anyone apart from myself, I am teaching a standard functional programming course so these books will cover much the same material. But, there is no learning like doing exercises so my advice is to write Haskell code, then write some more, and then some more. Write Haskell code until it starts coming out of your ears.

Coursework

You may work in groups of upto 3 and you should be ready to demonstrate your code at the beginnng of each lab session. Half of the marks are given for correctness amd half of the marks will be given for SMALL comments explaining why your code is correct.

Please answer the questions contained in prac1.pdf . Edit your answers into Prac1.hs . You will need a file called Quilt.hs but you should not edit this file. This will be marked in the labs on Monday 13 October.

Past Papers

The format of your exam will not be the same as the exams below as you will not get any essay questions. You will instead have 4 coding questions and you will be required to answer three of them. However, the strength of the questions you will be asked will be similar to the strength of the coding questions in the exams below so feel free to tackle them as you progress through the course and revise.
