    Intro Functional Programming

    The course starts with a discussion of the background of functional programming in the lambda calculus. In the functional programming paradigm a program is built from functions that perform operations on the arguments.

    Functional Characteristics

    Modern languages ​​such as Java, Python, Scala and JavaScript are equipped with functional features but are not entirely based on them.

    Pure Functional Languages​​

    Programming languages ​​based entirely on this paradigm are Erlang, F♯, Haskell, Lisp and ML.

    Side Effects

    The course covers how functions do not cause side effects in purely functional programming languages. These are effects that affect more than the result of the function, such as changing a global variable. Variables that serve as an accumulator, counter or control variable have no place in a functional language.

    Map and Reduce

    Also attention is paid to characteristic functional concepts such as immutable data, clojures and map and reduce algorithms.

    Functions and Style

    Additionally the course Functional Programming covers the various types of functions such as first class functions, higher order functions and lambda functions.

    Other Functional Concepts

    Finally the discussion of other functional terms such as Generators and Iterators, Fold Expressions, Memoization and Monads is on the agenda.
