Fp Course
This project is a functional programming course and automated coding curriculum designed to teach the core principles of the paradigm through a structured sequence of exercises and modules. It serves as an interactive programming tutorial where learners solve incremental problems and validate their understanding through a programming exercise suite.
The curriculum is language-agnostic, focusing on core logic and paradigms rather than a specific language. It employs an automated toolchain that transforms source code into executable binaries to verify solutions.
Correctness is validated using a test-driven approach that combines a built-in test runner with property-based testing to ensure implementations meet specific functional requirements. The project includes scripts for developer environment bootstrapping to automatically generate build configuration files.
