| | <b>Functionalb> Programming with Python LG #109 |
| | The <b>functionalb> programming paradigm encourages us to structure our programs as collections of `pure' functions which do not have any global state and which do not make use of the assignment operator (note that this is not possible in all situations; a banking system will surely have to `remember' lots of stuff). | | | <b>Functionalb> programmers use recursive invocation of functions (iteration is considered to be a special case of recursion and specific iteration constructs like the `while' or `for' loop may be absent altogether) to program repetitive behaviour. | | | Functions are considered `first class', ie, they can be passed to other functions and returned from other functions thereby facilitating the creation of what are called `higher order functions' - a powerful idea which can capture concisely many complex computational patterns when combined with the idea of `closures'. |

| | <b>Functionalb> programming in the Java language |
| | From a <b>functionalb> programming standpoint, the expression is not yet a general piece of logic; that is, it cannot be passed around and asked to execute whenever you want, without regard to the current position of execution control. | | | Since this type of development is inherent to the <b>functionalb> programming paradigm, it seems natural to use <b>functionalb> programming techniques when developing modular code on the Java platform. | | | <b>Functionalb> programming, on the other hand, is a style of programming that emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands. |

| | Charming Python: <b>Functionalb> programming in Python, Part 1 |
| | I've found it much easier to get a grasp of <b>functionalb> programming in the language Haskell than in Lisp/Scheme (even though the latter is probably more widely used, if only in Emacs). | | | <b>Functionalb> programs bypass this particular issue by simply not assigning values to variables at all. | | | What we have accomplished is that we have managed to express a little program that involves I/O, looping, and conditional statements as a pure expression with recursion (in fact, as a function object that can be passed elsewhere if desired). |

| | Since modularity is the key to successful programming, <b>functionalb> languages are vitally important to the real world. | | | In this paper we show that two features of <b>functionalb> languages in particular, higher-order functions and lazy evaluation, can contribute greatly to modularity. | | | As examples, we manipulate lists and trees, program several numerical algorithms, and implement the alpha-beta heuristic (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligence used in game-playing programs). |
