When I first saw the ideas of functional programming, I found them very strange due to the fact that, I, like most people, got used to structural and object oriented programming paradigms. The structural takes away the goto definitions from our code and replaces them with if/else/do/while, which forces the code to execute in an order. The object oriented, encapsulates local variables and methods long after a function returns (what eventually became a constructor) and through the use of function pointers introduced polymorphism. In this post, I will introduce you to functional programming.
