<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>[] what is funcitonal programming - by Don Sagrott, founder @ sospep.com -</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>[] functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are designed/constructed of mathematical functions</li>
<li>[] functional programs avoid changing state</li>
<li>[] functional program avoid muteable data</li>
<li>[] pure functions ( that have no side effects)</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming" target="_blank">what is functional programming?</a></strong></li>
<ol>
<li>[] a programming pardadigm where computation is treated as the evaluation of mathematical functions, avoids changing state and muteable data,</li>
<li>[] a declarative (versus an imperative) programming paradigm, where programming is done with expressions or declarations VS statements</li>
<li>[] In functional code, the output value of a function depends only on its arguments, so calling a function with the same value for an argument always produces the same result. This is in contrast to imperative programming where, in addition to a function's arguments, global program state can affect a function's resulting value. Eliminating side effects, that is, changes in state that do not depend on the function inputs, can make understanding a program easier, which is one of the key motivations for the development of functional programming.</li>
<li>[] key concepts include [] pure functions, [] higher order functions,</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>[] what is a functional programming language?</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>[] some examples of FP languages include - lisp, scheme, clojure, haskell, f#</li>
<li>[] state of fp, where lisp is the granddaddy, clojure is the popular, f# is msft's baby</li>
