Immutability

Remember how we assign different values to a variable through out the program? How we use setters in classes to modify the value of class variables? That is not allowed in FP. A variable once set remains unchanged. Sort of like, making all variables final.We usually think of variables as vessels that hold the values. The vessel can hold different values at different times. But in FP, variables are just another name for their values. Like, PI is always 3.14..Ever imagined a different value for PI? No? In the same way, every x, y in your program can now have a single value.

Partial Application

Let's say there is a function that takes three arguments. Usually, we need to be aware of all three values to call this function, right? In partial application, the three arguments are provided at different times. I could not find a decent blog that explains this well.

Composition

This is a method where we take simple functions and combine them into a more complex function. Let's say we have two methods f(x) = x * 2 //(timesTwo) and f(x) = x - 1 // (minusOne) . And we want to compute f(x) = 2x -1 . You call the timesTwo f...

First Class Function

In OOP we treat data and functions separately. In FP, they are all the same. We can create an array of functions, pass a function as argument, return a function from a method.

Recursion

Recursion is when a function calls itself and an end condition exists in the function to stop the method call. We could talk about this in depth another day. For now, here is a good explanation.

Functional Purity

If a function returns same value for the same argument every time, then the function is pure. That generally means that, the function cannot use any state values that could potentially change.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug
