| Learning Outcomes: |
Follow and explain an explicit Design Recipe to go from an idea to a working, tested final program Develop abstract computational data models for representing problem domain-level information Choose from, and write programs over simple atomic data, compound structures, data mixtures/ itemizations, arbitrarily-sized data like lists and trees Develop test procedures for programs Use simple control mechanisms: function composition, conditionals, recursion, iteration Explain when mutable state is needed (and why we avoid it if possible) Abstract over and analyze simple programming patterns (higher-order programming) including simple parameter abstraction, parametric data, map/filter/reduce/lambda, and closures Basic sorting & searching algorithms, recognize simple program time/space behavior |
