Back2Basics: Algebraic Data Types (ADTs)

To understand ADTs, firstly, we have to understand what is the meaning of the word…

Back2Basics: Futures in Scala

Hey folks, in this blog we will be discussing and try to gather some knowledge on how multithreading, concurrency can be achieved and asynchronous computations can be done on immutable values by the use of Futures.

Why do we need Futures?

Currying vs Partially Applied Function

In this blog, I’m going to discuss currying and partially applied functions.

CURRYING

Currying splits method with multiple parameters into a chain of functions — each with one parameter.

Functional Programming: A Paradigm

It’s surprisingly hard to find a consistent definition of functional programming. But I think you can define FP with just two statements:

1. FP is about writing software applications using only pure functions.
2. When writing FP code you only…

Back2Basics: Understanding Partially Applied Functions

In this blog, we are going to talk about Partially applied functions and its use case. Before starting, first, we will emphasize that though Partial functions and Partially applied functions sound similar they are different from each…

ScalaFP: Let’s Find The Reasons Behind Monads.

Monads in Functional Programming play an important role but they mostly confuse the beginners. One of the reasons for the confusion is that they mostly have a knowledge of imperative style programming, where they have no idea about function…
