1. Intro to CSC270 Survey of Programming Languages
Pepper

2. Goals Learn new languages quickly All paradigms
Learn C / C++ fairly well
Learn Racket and Prolog slightly
All paradigms
Understand paradigm differences
Learning new languages and APIs is standard industry practice

3. Languages of CSC270 Language Paradigm Java
Object Oriented (and perhaps procedural) C
Procedural (Imperative)
C++
Dr. Racket
Impure Functional
Prolog
Declarative
Imperative : Commands to take action to change state of program
Procedural: Imperative built from subroutines (or functions or methods)
Declarative: Describe desired result without listing steps to perform
Logical: Program searches for proofs of statements
Functional: Defines functions as mathematical functions with set inputs
yielding defined outputs avoiding states and changeable data

4. Collaboration Group final project Some other group projects
Getting help from friends/ tutors:
Cite the name / know the code
Getting help from the internet
Cite the website;
if black box code:
then state it
Otherwise, be able to explain any line of code you submit

5. Final Project Puzzle Generator Tech details
Randomly generate different puzzles of one type
Display the puzzle
Solve the puzzle
Ask for solution and evaluate response
Generate some possible solutions (more than one if available)
Tech details
3 languages
Full written specification
Pass data via files
