  • More about Functional Programming For Dummies


Functional Programming for Dummies provides an all-in-one approach to functional programming, which is mainly used in math computations and AI. It explores the differences between the pure and impure approaches and uses examples in both Python and Haskell to help readers understand and apply the coding methodology.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 320 pages

Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc


Functional programming is a programming paradigm primarily used in math computations, including those in Artificial Intelligence and gaming. It simplifies the understanding of algorithms used for math calculations and provides a concise coding method for non-developers. Current books on the market have a steep learning curve, often written for developers by developers. However, Functional Programming for Dummies aims to bridge this gap by exploring the differences between pure and impure approaches to functional programming.

The pure approach, represented by the Haskell language, is best suited for researchers who need to test algorithms thoroughly and demonstrate their usefulness to peers. On the other hand, the impure approach, represented by the Python language, is more suitable for production environments as it allows mixing coding paradigms to produce results more quickly.

Functional Programming for Dummies employs a two-pronged approach to provide an all-in-one approach to coding methodology, which can otherwise be challenging to grasp. It covers topics such as deriving, analyzing, and proving the worth of algorithms, using examples in both Python and Haskell. The book is written by an expert author with extensive experience in the programming field, and it has been praised for its clarity and accessibility.

If you are interested in exploring new ways of manipulating data to gain deeper insights, Functional Programming for Dummies is an excellent resource. It will help you understand the principles of functional programming and apply them to your coding projects, enabling you to develop more efficient and effective algorithms.
