Comparison Of Programming Languages (functional Instructions)
This page provides the comparison tables of functional programming instructions between programming languages. Comparison of basic instructions of imperative paradigm is provided by Comparison of programming languages (basic instructions), the comparison of basic instructions. List operations Function applications and lists For brevity, these words will have the specified meanings in the following tables (unless noted to be part of language syntax): ;: A function. May be unary or n-ary (or always unary for languages without n-ary functions). :;, , etc.: functions of specific arity. (with no number) is the same as , also known as a ''projection'' in many languages. ;: Unary function returning a Boolean value. (ML (programming language), ML type: ) (C-like type: ). ;: The list being operated on. ;: Comma-separated list of one or more argument names, in the form of . ;: A pattern, in languages with pattern matching. ;: Any relevant value, depending on context.

Functional Programming
In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are constructed by Function application, applying and Function composition (computer science), composing Function (computer science), functions. It is a declarative programming paradigm in which function definitions are Tree (data structure), trees of Expression (computer science), expressions that map Value (computer science), values to other values, rather than a sequence of Imperative programming, imperative Statement (computer science), statements which update the State (computer science), running state of the program. In functional programming, functions are treated as first-class citizens, meaning that they can be bound to names (including local Identifier (computer languages), identifiers), passed as Parameter (computer programming), arguments, and Return value, returned from other functions, just as any other data type can. This allows programs to be written in a Declarative programming, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
