We will see a peculiar example of a pure function. This function contained a side-effect, but we dubbed it pure by wrapping its action in another function. Here's another example of this: // getFromStorage :: String -> (_ -> String) const getFromSto…
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…
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…
I was recently reading a series on “Write Sequential Non-Blocking IO Code With Fibers in NodeJS” by Venkatesh. Venki was essentially trying to emphasize that writing non-blocking code in NodeJS (either via callbacks, or using promises) can get hairy…
It is really important to understand function signature in functional programming. The the code example below: const map = fn => anyFunctor => anyFunctor.map(fn); 'map' is pointfree version of any founctor's map, for example: Maybe.of('maybe').map(t…
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…
