Unit Description

This unit covers non-procedural languages - SCHEME and PROLOG. SCHEME is a functional programming language. PROLOG is a logic programming language. Topics included in the SCHEME section are: basic list processing functions; conditionals; recursions; and high order functions. Topics included in the PROLOG section are: data structures, recursions; backtracking and cut; practical programming style; debugging; improving efficiency; and operations on trees.
