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 function first. With the output of timesTwo , you call the minusOne function. How would you code this?
The requirement here is that the next function takes as argument the same type that the previous function returns.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Running the Action Tree
Once we have the action tree, running the code is easy. Each action node has a function ‘execute’ which takes some input, does whatever the action should (including possibly calling sub action) and returns the action’s output. This is the interpreter in action.
