What is functional programming and why is it helpful?
Functional programming rests on a few foundational ideas, centered on utilizing perform definitions in varied mixtures to implement the processing you want. A key factor of utilizing capabilities is a choice for utilizing stateless objects like Python strings, numbers, and tuples.
For knowledge analytics and machine studying purposes, the functional model typically suits properly with knowledge cleaning and transformation pipelines.
The functional approach is distinct from object-oriented (OO) programming:
It tends to keep away from object creation This can considerably scale back reminiscence use and enhance efficiency, compared with OO methods Since Python just isn’t a purely functional language, some OO methods shall be a part of the implementations. This means we will make use of one of the best elements of each paradigms.
What’s new on this version of the guide?
We’ve coated a few new packages, toolz and pyrsistent, which can be typically useful for writing functional applications.
We’ve expanded the protection of immutable knowledge buildings to embody NamedTuple and frozen @dataclass lessons. This consists of utilizing the pyrsistent module for immutable objects that may evolve by emitting an object of the identical class in a revised state.
You’ll additionally discover examples of the brand new match assertion, which has type-matching options typically utilized in different functional languages. All sort hints have been revised to match Python 3.10 definitions, following PEP-585. Finally, a full set of workout routines have been added to every chapter.
All of the instance code is unit examined, and supplied within the GitHub repository for the guide. This course of works by analyzing the entire code and console examples within the guide’s supply and inserting the code into a context the place it’s testable. There are about 250 take a look at circumstances for the examples.
