I’ve seen a couple posts in the top in the last 6 hours feed, and it seems like people are really up in arms about this functional programming stuff. Not really sure what it even is.
It looks like it’s people writing bad programming or something? Like a lot of extra stuff that is not necessary?
EDIT: sorry everyone, I’m not a programmer and I don’t know to much other than a little java and python. I guess I should have posted this in Explain Like I’m Five.
It’s a programming paradigm where every action is made up of functions, functions which have no side effects beyond their explicit outputs.
I understand every one if those words, yet together I don’t understand them at all.
Thanks! I love going down new (to me) paths!
