Jan 31, 2014 · I'm far from a functional programming expert, but the compile-time template metaprogramming language in C++ is often seen as being "functional", albeit with a very arcane syntax.

The next revision, C++0x, contains many features designed to let programmers work with these in a more functional style (lambda expressions, etc.). Look into the various Boost libraries for more fun. …

Jun 2, 2015 · Trying to conflate this with "functional programming" is really wading deep into the Turing tarpit. *For a really technical distinction, C and C++ really don't have any function-typed values. A …

Sep 30, 2008 · And while C++ doesn't provide the rich side-effect analysis that some functional-oriented programming languages perform, const analysis and C++0x lambda syntax can help:

In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data.

172 I've been thinking a lot lately about how to go about doing functional programming in C (not C++). Obviously, C is a procedural language and doesn't really support functional programming natively. …

Jan 9, 2010 · In functional programming, a functor is essentially a construction of lifting ordinary unary functions (i.e. those with one argument) to functions between variables of new types.

If your interested in function-oriented programming and want to understand it a bit better, I'd take a look at lisp. C++ isn't truly function oriented as every function should return a value yet C++ functions can …

Dec 29, 2019 · C++ has std::accumulate: std::accumulate performs a left fold. In order to perform a right fold, one must reverse the order of the arguments to the binary operator, and use reverse iterators. …

Mar 23, 2010 · I'm reading about functional programming and I've noticed that Pattern Matching is mentioned in many articles as one of the core features of functional languages. Can someone …
