Book Description
By finelybook
Python supports four programming paradigms – imperative,procedural,object-oriented,and functional. Of these,functional programming is probably the least understood and the least used. This book covers several topics that are directly and indirectly related to functional programming.
After a quick overview of functional programming and its characteristics,Functional Programming in Python explains the various concepts of Python,starting with functions. You’ll learn how to change the value of an object by using mutability. You’ll then look at recursion as a more functional alternative to looping for certain algorithms,and learn how memoization alleviates the limitations of recursion in certain situations. The book further explains how to use closures as function factories and how to handle errors and exceptions with functors and monads.
By the end of this book,you’ll have all the knowledge you need for developing your applications with functional programming in Python.
