Why you should learn functional programming
Why you should learn functional programming Many of the widely used languages (including C++, Java, and Javascript) are imperative. In imperative programming, computations are structured as sequences of instructions that operate by making modifications to the state of the program. Functional languages operate by declaring functions. The output value of…
