Summary
COMP1034 Mathematics for Computer Scientists and COMP1038 Programming Algorithms are the prerequisites of this module.
In this module you will learn the basic principles of the object-oriented and functional approaches to programming, using the languages Java and Haskell. You will also see how they can be used in practice to write different kinds of programs. You will spend around 5 hours per week in lectures and labs for this module.
