++ Verification according to Floyd or Hoare
++ Termination
++ Procedures
- Basic concepts of functional programming
++ Values, variables, functions
++ Data++structures, pattern matching
++ Higher order functions
++ Polymorphic types
++ Programming in the large: Structures and Functors
++ Correctness of functional programs
+++ Semantics of functional programs
+++ Verification of functional programs
- Correctness of imperative programs

++ Termination
++ Procedures
- Basic concepts of functional programming
++ Values, variables, functions
++ Data++structures, pattern matching
++ Higher order functions
++ Polymorphic types
++ Programming in the large: Structures and Functors
++ Correctness of functional programs
+++ Semantics of functional programs
+++ Verification of functional programs
Learning Outcome
After successful completion of the module, participants understand the key concepts of functional programming languages. They are able to solve well presented tasks in a functional programming language. Therefore, they are able to acquire programming skills on their own also in further functional programming languages. They also are familiar with the most important techniques for the verification of imperative and functional programming language and can apply them to simple programs.

Learning and Teaching Methods
By means of a presentation, either by slides or whiteboard, the lecture transports the concepts of verification and the programming language and illustrates them by examples.
Accompanying assignments for individual study deepen the understanding of the concepts explained in the lecture, and train students to apply these to the verification of small programs and to master programming in the given programming language.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The exam takes the form of a 120 minutes written test. Small programming tasks allow to assess whether the students master a functional programming language and are able to realize small implementation problems. By inferring simple invariants they demonstrate that they have understood the principles of program verification and are able to apply these.
The successful completion of homework asignments may contribute to the grade as a bonus. The exact details for this are announced timely at the begin of the lecture.
