Recursion: An Indispensable Tool For Every Functional Programmer [Example With Insertion Sort]
This is the first of a series of articles that illustrates functional programming (FP) concepts to imperative programmers. As you go through these articles with code examples in Haskell (one of the most popular FP languages), you gain the grounding for picking up any FP languages quickly. Why should you care about FP? See this […]

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 a function depends only on […]
