|  | | Functional programming in Python |  | | Description: Functional programming in Python | | Although users usually think of Python as a procedural and object-oriented language, it actually contains everything you need for a completely functional approach to programming. This article discusses general concepts of functional programming, and illustrates ways of implementing functional techniques in Python. It starts with the hardest question: "What is functional programming (FP), anyway?" One answer would be to say that FP is what you do when you program in languages like Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, ML, OCAML, Clean, Mercury, or Erlang (or a few others). That is a safe answer, but not one that clarifies very much. Unfortunately, it is hard to get a consistent opinion on just what FP is, even from functional programmers themselves. | | Information:: Functional programming in Python | | Title: | Functional programming in Python | | Author: | Functional programming in Python | | Last Updated: | Sat Jan 04 2003 | | Home Page: | Click to Visit  | | Web site Language: | English | | Current Rating: | 0.00 | | Total Hits #: | 132 | | Listings ID #: | 6900 | | Reviews for Functional programming in Python |
