In this section, we are going to learn what the main differences are between functional programming and reactive programming as well as what principal benefits of reactive programming.

Functional programming focuses on the interpretation of functions as mathematical functions—stateless and without side effects. On the other hand, reactive programming focuses on the propagation of changes as streams of events. The term functional-reactive programming is used to refer to a superset of reactive programming.
