#Week 11 Overview#

Functional Programming

In this week, you will learn about functional programming. This programming paradigm employs functions to change the state of data, where the functions process input data and produce outputs, without changing the state of the rest of the program. Functional programming can result in high performance computations for certain types of problems, and can, therefore, be a useful skill to possess

Objectives

#####By the end of this lesson, you should accomplish the following learning objectives:######

• Understand the basic concepts behind functional programming.
• Understand how to employ the map, filter, and reduce methods.
• Understand how to write and use lambda functions.
• Understand comprehensions and iterators.
