Three things I’ve noticed about functional programming while using Scala.
happy birthday to me happy birthday to me #lol #omg
oops #lol oops #lol #omg 㱺 㱺 ⋮ ⋮ What have we have? What do we want?
#lol, #omg & some text Some text 㱺 What have
we have? What do we want?
#lol, #omg & some text Some text 㱺 What have
we have? What do we want? List[String], String 㱺 String
def appendTags(tweet: String, tags: List[String]) = tags.foldLeft(tweet) { appendOne }
def appendOne(tweet: String, tag: String) = if (tweet contains tag) tweet else tweet+" "+tag
“It’s the mutable state, stupid.” – Göetz et al.
val results = List(yahoo _, google _).par.map(_.apply)
import scala.actors.Futures._ val results = List(yahoo _, google _) map
( f 㱺 future{ f() } ) map (_.apply)
Option, for comprehensions, flatMap & pattern matching are astonishingly useful
every day and I’d never heard of them before learning Scala.
for (int i = 0; i < resultFeed.getEntries().size(); i++) {
ContactEntry entry = resultFeed.getEntries().get(i); if (entry.hasName()) { Name name = entry.getName(); if (name.hasFullName()) { ...
for { entry ← resultFeed.getEntries name ← Option(entry.getName) full_name ←
Option(name.getFullName) birthday ← Option(entry.getBirthday) } yield "%s: %s".format(full_name.getValue, when)
1. Thinking in terms of A 㱺 B 2. Concurrency
3. Option (& friends) change everything Summary
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer(tweet); if (tags != null) {
for(String tag: tags) { if (tag != null && b.indexOf(tag) == -1) { b.append(tag).append(“ ”); } } } return b.toString();
