/prog/ - functional programming

Name: Anonymous 2009-06-19 6:25

can someone explain to me what functional programming is?

it's like a sandwich that doesn't have any meat.
instead, you push the meat between the bread and it comes out the other side of the sandwich as a different kind of meat.

Its for computer science. IRL functional means "recursion instead of iteration and no side effects" which kills interest for developers.

It's a programming paradigm where the programming elements have characteristics that mirror the world of mathematical logic.
