Course has been adjusted for remote participation in Semester 1, 2022.

This course is a variation on Programming for Problem Solving (COMP1100). It  covers the same topics in more depth, allowing students to deepen their understanding and experience. They will understand the foundations of program semantics, program proof, and implementation of the programming language features that they have learned in the course.

 

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

  1. (in addition to the learning outcomes of COMP1100)
  2. Understand and discuss the fundamental mathematical concepts underlying functional programming
  3. Use formal proof and structural induction to reason about the correctness of functional programs.
  4. Understand and discuss the significance of different evaluation strategies, including laziness, for the computational behaviour of functional programs.

Indicative Assessment

  1. Assignments (30) [LO null]
  2. Lab Assessment (5) [LO null]
  3. Mid-Term Exam (10) [LO null]
  4. Final Exam (55) [LO null]

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.

Workload

Forty hours of lectures, twelve two-hour tutorial/laboratory sessions. At least the same amount of time will be required to work through the material, and prepare assignments and for labs.

Inherent Requirements
