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.

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 variable...

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.

Voice Notes
They are a great way to call someone and talk to them without disturbing them in real-time.
A phone call is no longer polite now and sending a voice message while discussing an idea, feedback, or reflection is a ‘soft’ method that works asynchronously.
Aristotle on Eudaimonia
For Aristotle, a thing is best understood at its end, purpose, or goal. The goal that is an end-in-itself is by understanding the unique function of a thing. Our unique function, says Aristotle, is our capacity to reason.
Thus, our supreme good is to develop our think...
