ID1019 Programming II 7.5 credits
This course will be discontinued.
Last planned examination: Spring 2026
Decision to discontinue this course:
The course will be discontinued at the end of Spring 2026 according to the head of school decision: J-2023-2991.
Decision date: 2023-11-21
The course is offered for the last time in Spring 2024. The last opportunity to take an examination in the course is in Spring 2026.
Contact the examiner to be examined during the discontinuation period.
In this course you will learn two very important programming paradigmns: functional programming and concurrent programming. There will be quite alot of programming during the course so be prepared to spend time infront of the computer.
You will create the image to the left by tracing some milljon light rays as they bounce around in a room. Sounds complicated but using some vector arithmetic it's easier than one might think.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course goes through partly the programming techniques that are used in functional programming languages, partly how programmes can be divided into several executing threads and how these can be coordinated. Examples of programming techniques are recursive definitions, non-updateable data structures, functions of higher order and so called “closures”. Coordination of multiple threads is shown, partly through modification of common data structures, partly through message passing between processes.
The course will use a programming language as the main language but also show similarities and differences with other functional languages.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, students should be able to:
- use recursion, pattern matching and non-modifiable data structures upon implementation in a functional programming language.
For higher grades, the student should also be able to
- use functions as first order objects and work with the functions of higher order
- explain the basics of functional programming, its structure and operational semantics
- evaluate functions with regard to time complexity
- use message based multi-threaded programming.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
- Knowledge and skills in programming, 7,5 credits, corresponding to completed course ID1018.
- Knowledge in algorithms and data structures, 4,5 credits, corresponding to completed course component ARBA-Course work in ID1020/ID1021.
- Knowledge in discrete mathematics, 7,5 credits, corresponding to completed course IX1500/SF1610.
Active participation in a course offering where the final examination is not yet reported in Ladok is considered equivalent to completion of the course. Registration for a course is counted as active participation. The term 'final examination' encompasses both the regular examination and the first re-examination.

Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Hand in assignment, 7.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
