Notes on Functional Programming with Haskell (PDF 184P)
This note covers the following topics: functions and their
definitions, using the hugs interpreter, haskell basics, higher order
functions, more list notations, more on data types, input-output, haskell
laws, program synthesis, models of reduction, divide and conquer algorithms,
infinite data structures.
Gert Smolka's "Introduction to Functional Programming and the Structure of Programming
Languages using OCaml" is an extensive tutorial that deals with the functional
principles of programming using OCaml. The document first addresses basic issues
like syntax and semantics, thereby providing a solid grounding in the
theoretical issues concerning programming languages. Polymorphic functions are
considered, iteration has been discussed, and lists, constructor types, and
trees have been dealt with, including linearization. The notes include practical
aspects such as parsing and a mini OCaml interpreter to help in the
implementation of functional languages. Additional topics include running time
analysis, inductive correctness proofs, and arrays. It takes a well-rounded
approach to functional programming and data structures; both theoretical ideas
and practice are emphasized.
Tyng-Ruey Chuang's
"Functional Programming" gives a condensed summary of the leading concepts of
functional programming. The basic concepts of functional programming are covered
in this PDF and expose the core principles and paradigms. Among other things, it
considers fold and unfold functions that are indispensable in the treatment of
data structures in a functional manner. The paper also considers parameterized
modules, which allow flexible and reusable parts of code. Main topics are
function evaluation and binding, raw items of how functions work and interact in
functional programming languages. Addressing these notions, Chuang's notes give
a chance for brief but intensive introduction to the techniques and practices of
functional programming.
These lecture notes by Piyush
P Kurur elaborates on various functional programming topics in depth. The
contents of the following topics are functional programming-introduction,
pattern matching, and some useful algorithms like The Sieve of Eratosthenes and
the Fibonacci Series. Advanced topics include folding of lists, lambda calculus,
modules, type inference, and type classes. Examples of practical applications,
such as an expression evaluator and functions with variable arguments, will
provide learners with a sense of how theoretical material might be applied in
real-world situations. These detailed lecture notes are intended for readers who
would like to go through functional programming in depth - both explanations and
exercises.
Authored by Graham Hutton, this online course module introduces the basic
axioms of functional programming using Haskell, which is a modern functional
programming language. It introduces the learner to the basic ideas of functional
programming: immutability of data, purity of function, higher-order functions.
Students will work through practical examples and exercises to build a firm
grasp of methods in functional programming. This course is aimed at
understanding and applying core principles in Haskell to enable learners to
fathom the advantages and paradigms of functional programming. Therefore, it's a
good resource for beginners who wish to investigate functional programming
through getting their hands dirty with Haskell.
