In this article, we will talk about doing functional programming using JavaScript. We will also explore various JavaScript methods and features that make it possible. In the end, we will explore different concepts associated with functional programming and see why they are so powerful. Expertise Pre...
Programming Concepts Series: The Stack and the Heap Compiled and Interpreted Languages Concurrency Static vs. Dynamic Type Checking Type Introspection
Module 3, Functional Programming in JavaScript, explores the core concepts of functional programming common to all functional languages, with examples of their use in JavaScript.What you need for this learning pathAll the examples in this course can be run on any of the modern browsers. For the...
•Haskell is elegant and concise Because it uses a lot of high level concepts, Haskell programs are usually shorter than their imperative equivalents. And shorter programs are easier to maintain than longer ones and have less bugs. Run the following in your terminal (as a user other than roo...
A distinctive feature of pure functional programming is immutability. You will have to throw out standard looping methods such asfor, while,anddo-whileto avoid mutating variables after they have been initialized (e.g., loop counters). Instead, JavaScript offers higher-order functions likemap, filt...
How to expressively represent (database, validation and unexpected) errors as domain concepts using functional programming concepts and how to hook those errors up to our Express.js base controller.
With Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly® by Marc Clifton, you will learn many of the basic concepts involved with functional programming, such as currying, partial application, function pipelines, recursion, and continuations. By book's end, you will learn how to combine functional ...
Functional programming includes concepts like immutable data (data that can’t be changed) & using functions with no side effects. One of the major goals of functional programming is to get rid of side effects, which usually make code much harder to reason about, since things can happen withou...
My older son (also a programmer) called my attention to a bit of JavaScript trivia that illustrates nicely the consequences of subtle interactions among independent, well-intentioned decisions (console transcripts courtesy ofnode.js). Everyone agrees that programming languages should give the programmer...
This repo introduces functional programming concepts using TypeScript and possibly libraries in the fp-ts ecosystem. This fork is an edited translation of Giulio Canti's "Introduction to Functional Programming (Italian)". The author uses the original as a reference and supporting material for his le...
