Overview of this book

Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language enabling you to tackle different problems in various ways. Understanding each paradigm and knowing when and how to utilize and combine them can lead to a better code base. Functional programming (FP) is an important paradigm that empowers us with declarative development and makes applications more suitable for testing, as well as performant and elegant. This book aims to simplify the FP paradigms, making them easily understandable and usable, by showing you how to solve many of your day-to-day development problems using Swift FP. It starts with the basics of FP, and you will go through all the core concepts of Swift and the building blocks of FP. You will also go through important aspects, such as function composition and currying, custom operator definition, monads, functors, applicative functors,memoization, lenses, algebraic data types, type erasure, functional data structures, functional reactive programming (FRP), and protocol-oriented programming(POP). You will then learn to combine those techniques to develop a fully functional iOS application from scratch

Monoids


In mathematics, Monoids can be considered as categories with a single object. They capture the idea of function composition within a set. In fact, all functions from a set into itself naturally form a Monoid with respect to function composition.

In computer science, there are different types of Monoid, such as free, transition, syntactic, trace, and history. A set of strings built from a given set of characters is a free Monoid. The transition Monoid and syntactic Monoid are used to describe finite state machines, whereas trace Monoids and history Monoids provide a foundation for process calculi and concurrent computing.

Simply put, in computer science, a Monoid is a set, a binary operation, and an element of the set with the following rules:

  • Associativity of binary operations
  • The element is the identity

Simply put, a structure is a Monoid if the structure is a Semigroup with an element that is the identity. So let's define a new protocol that extends our Semigroupprotocol:
