Functional Programming

One of the most famous programming paradigms, which is object-oriented programming (OOP), provides us with a way of thinking about objects, thus expressing the real world in terms of classes and their relationships. Functional programming is an entirely distinct programming paradigm that allows us to focus on the functional structure rather than the physical structure of code. Functional programming has two benefits that make it worthwhile to learn and use. Firstly, it is a new paradigm, which encourages you to think differently. Flexible thinking is necessary for solving problems. People who adhere to a single paradigm tend to offer similar solutions to every problem, but the most elegant solutions require a broader perspective. Developers may solve problems even more effectively by using the new skills they get from mastering functional programming. Secondly, functional programming helps to cut down on software errors. Functional programming’s distinctive...
