Abstract

This paper forms the notes of a two-hours lecture introducing Object-Oriented Functional Programming with Lisp as a support language. We start by remembering the key concepts of functional programming, imperative programming and object-oriented programming. We continue with a discussion of object-orientedness in Lisp, including Lisp packages, Lisp data structures and CLOS – Common Lisp Object System. We then remind the alternate approach, of functional paradigm in C++. A suggestion for a lab session follows.
