Learning notes. Video. Less than: If you use 'ramda', you maybe know 'lt, gt'.. R.lt(2, 1); //=> false Is '2' less than '1' , the result is false. We can see that the data is actually come first which is 2. Normally in FP, we want data come last. Wha…

Using Naive JS: const {modify, get} = require('crocks/State'); const K = require('crocks/combinators/constant'); const B = require('crocks/combinators/composeB'); const assign = require('crocks/helpers/assign'); const prop = require('crocks/Maybe/pro…

We take a closer look at the get construction helper and see how we can use it to lift a function that maps the state portion and updates the resultant with the result. Using get in this fashion, we then demonstrate how we can make accessors that can…

In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm, a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs, that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It is a…

Functions in Java Prior to the introduction of Lambda Expressions feature in version 8, Java had long been known as a purely object-oriented programming language. "Everything is an Object" is the philosophy deep in the language design. Objects a…

background In pursuit of a real-world application, let’s say we need an e-commerce web applicationfor a mail-order coffee bean company. They sell several types of coffee and in differentquantities, both of which affect the price. Imperative methods F…

In this blog post I will talk about the changes coming in Angular 2 that will improve its support for functional programming. Angular 2 is still in active development, so all the examples are WIP. Please focus on the capabilities and ideas, and not t…

1. Functional programming treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical and avoids state and mutable data. Scala encourages an expression-oriented programming(EOP) 1) In expression-oriented programming every statement is an expression. A state…

Lifting Now, let's review map from another perspective. map :: (T -> R) -> [T] -> [R] accepts 2 parameters, a function f :: T -> R and a list list :: [T]. [T] is a generic type paramterized by T, it's not the same as T, but definitely shares s…

Java 8 发布带来的一个主要特性就是对函数式编程的支持. 而 Lambda 表达式就是一个新的并且很重要的一个概念. 它提供了一个简单并且很简洁的编码方式. 首先从几个简单的 Lambda 表达式的例子开始了解 Java 中的函数式编程. Lambda 表达式初识: 首先定义一个 Lambda 表达式: x -> x + 1 这个表达式输入参数是一个 x,然后对这个参数 x 的操作是加 1,然后将这个结果返回,即返回值. 从这个简单的 Lambda 表达式可以看出 Lambda 表达式的语法…
