Overview of this book

Functional programming is a paradigm for developing software with better performance. It helps you write concise and testable code. To help you take your programming skills to the next level, this comprehensive book will assist you in harnessing the capabilities of functional programming with JavaScript and writing highly maintainable and testable web and server apps using functional JavaScript. This second edition is updated and improved to cover features such as transducers, lenses, prisms and various other concepts to help you write efficient programs. By focusing on functional programming, you’ll not only start to write but also to test pure functions, and reduce side effects. The book also specifically allows you to discover techniques for simplifying code and applying recursion for loopless coding. Gradually, you’ll understand how to achieve immutability, implement design patterns, and work with data types for your application, before going on to learn functional reactive programming to handle complex events in your app. Finally, the book will take you through the design patterns that are relevant to functional programming. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed your JavaScript skills and have gained knowledge of the essential functional programming techniques to program effectively.

Questions

12.1. Maybe tasks? In the Questions section of Chapter 8, Connecting Functions Pipelining and Composition, a question (8.2) had to do with getting the pending tasks for a person while taking errors or border situations into account, such as the possibility that the selected person might not even exist. Redo that exercise but using Maybe or Either monads to simplify that code.

12.2. Extending your trees: To get a more complete implementation of our functional binary search trees, implement the following functions:

  • Calculate the tree's height or, equivalently, the maximum distance from the root to any other node
  • List all the tree's keys, in ascending order
  • Delete a key from a tree

12.3. Functional lists: In the same spirit as binary trees, implement functional lists. Since a list is defined to be either empty or a node (head), followed by another...
