This post extends Transforming your thinking from OOP to FP. In Big-data, functional programming is prevalent when working with data sets. For example, writing a Spark job to work with RDDs (Resilient Distributed Data sets).
In Imperative (E.g. OOP, procedural programming, etc) programming you can say

x = x + 5 y = x + y |
where you are assigning x to x + 5.…
Q01. What is a category theory from a functional programming language perspective?
A01. The category theory is all about abstracting complexities in computations. OO is good for abstracting over Data, and FP is good for abstracting over behavior.
“f” and “g” are functions, and “A” and “B” are types.…
Q01. What do you understand by the terms functors, monads, and applicatives ? A01. Functors, Monads, and Applicatives are concepts or patterns that abstract complexities in computations, and are NOT…
