Functional λ programming-principles Alfin Surya (@natserract)
Outline Introduction What is functional programming? Imperative vs Functional FP
Characteristics
What’s up! Hello! I’m Alfin I write JavaScript, Python, Elixir
FP enthusiast I also like to study AI & machine learning
Functional Programming?
Function Composition
imperative vs λ
imperative functional
Think Different(ly) They must be very small They must do
one thing only (single responsibility principle) They must have few arguments as possible (rules of three) They should not have side effects They should avoid flag arguments that create two internal paths in a function
FP Characteristics First-Class Functions Statelessness and Immutability Pure Functions Higher-Order
Functions
First-Class Functions Functions are treated as first-class citizens, meaning they
can be assigned to variables, passed as arguments, or returned from other functions.
Statelessness and Immutability Line 2: Attempt to assign to const
or readonly variable
Pure Function ✅ Deterministic ✅ No Side Effects
Impure function ❌ Deterministic ❌ No Side Effects
Higher Order Function
Advantages Modularity Testability Scalability Readability
