Content

Type systems help programmers to ensure properties of programs across all executions of the program. The more expressive the type system, the more properties can be covered in this way. A particularly expressive class of type systems are those with dependent types. With these, the type of programs can depend on concrete runtime values. Programming in such programming languages requires theoretical knowledge and above all practical experience. Both are taught in this practical course.

Objectives

Students know what constitutes a programming language with dependent types, what additional expressive power is available at the type level and can use it practically in concrete programs. They recognize which properties of the program can be ensured by dependent types and which sources of errors can be avoided. They also understand what additional effort is required to do this and can thus make an informed decision about using a programming language with dependent types.
