The test will cover everything we did on functional programming. The test will be a 2 hours test. It will cover pattern-matching, higher-order functions, types (in general, equality types and as in Webwork), Curried functions, What does a function do? and writing functions. In the part where you have to write functions you will have to provide the types of the functions first and then write the functions. If you cannot define a function you can however use it later on in the exercise. There are 2 EXERCISES where you will have to define function. One of them is similar to the problem of prime numbers in Homework 2 and the second one deals with lists. You may want to look at the exercises we did in class together!

On Tuesday November 19 bring your questions... we will make a review session. (Posted Sun 18 Nov 23:15:12 EST 2001)

The goal of CS 361 is to introduce the fundamental concepts in programming languages. This is not a programming class.
It provides a study of history of programming languages including imperative, applicative (functional) and logical varieties. Emphasis will be on principles of language design, semantics and implementation strategies. It introduces formal syntax and interpretation and overviews the compilation process.
It will focus on C/C++, JAVA, PROLOG, multi-threading with JAVA and particularly SML.
