CS 61A Lecture 2: Functional Programming II

CS 61A - Spring 08 - The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

Instructor Brian Harvey

Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.

@theincredibledouche if-else if-else clauses. Cond just stands for conditional, which every programming language contains.

@elizbethlogan One of the top rated universities in the world...

[elizbethlogan]

what kind of university is this?????? it doesn't have even a white board..

.

[Dementedrox]

im going to attend to this university but without paying it, thumbs up to who ever installed that camera!

[baralailove]

gosh, all these computer science puns. lol.

@theincredibledouche Yes, it's called switch/case

[theincredibledouche]

is there some equivalent to cond in c++/c#?

[frangossauro]

@Rustferne yes, it would.

If you call the Pig Latin function with only consonants, wouldn't it recurse endlessly since no vowel is ever reached?

best teacher !
