Recentlly, I am learning crocks.js ADT libaray. In the beginning, it is hard to understand when to use 'runWith', 'evalWith', 'execWith'. Until I went though the coursea thrid times... I finally have some feelings for it. State has 'get, put, modify'…
As a beginner of Crocks.js, it was a problem for we to figure out when to use .map() and when to use .chain(). Of course, using the docs help: map: State s a ~> (a -> b) -> State s b chain: State s a ~> (a -> State s b) -> State s b The…
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…
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 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…
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…
A functional programming function is like a mathematical function, which produces an output that typically depends only on its arguments. Each time a functional programming function is called with the same arguments, the same result is achieved. Func…
初学函数式编程,相信很多程序员兄弟们对于这个名字熟悉又陌生.函数,对于程序员来说并不陌生,编程对于程序员来说也并不陌生,但是函数式编程语言(Functional Programming language)又是什么呢?肯定很多朋友们也会有疑问. 学习一样东西,我们首先是了解他的历史,因为历史总是惊人低调相似,并让你从头到尾的了解它,让自己了解的更透彻. 在计算机的世界中,有两位巨擘对问题的可计算性做了模型化描述 一位是阿兰.图灵(Alan Turing),   图灵机,又称图灵计算.图灵计算机,是…
