If I were to define it in my own words I would do it comparing the imperative approach to programming with the functional one. Clojure is an interesting programming language which is different in relation to object-oriented programming languages (like Java, C++, C#, Smalltalk, etc.). In my opinion, the correct way of representing an operation in a programming language is a function. Clojure is an absolutely interesting programming language which differs from object-oriented programming languages. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. In-depth coverage of Microsoft's new programming language-F# 2010F# is a new programming language from Microsoft, a fusion of object-oriented and functional approaches, which offers a number of new features and approaches to making software easier to. In this article, Tomas Petricek looks at how F# Agents lie at the intersection of parallel, asynchronous and concurrent programming styles and how they can be used to build concurrent applications. Now let me insert my commercial: I don't think that's good programming practice. However imperative programming is highly error-prone approach to programming and can obstruct optimizations and implementation opportunities that better abstractions provide. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming. Here is how we write the famous factorial function as a Scheme program: (define (fact n) (if One of the advantages of the 'functional' approach adopted by Scheme is that most evaluations can be modeled as simple substitutions. Functional programming in 2006: Back in 2006 I recall headhunting a candidate who was highly recommended to me, referred to as a genius with a double first from Oxford. As anyone with even a passing familiarity with functional programming knows (and I accept that passing familiarity usually comes only after three to five years), things in a functional language don't do anything (the way procedures execute or variables change in conventional languages); instead they are something, and what they are never changes. In our case, an operation would be a function. Description: Опубликовано 10 hours ago пользователем anton paryev. A term may OK, clearly there's lots wrong with this approach, so let's see if a functional approach can do any better.
