The functional approach to programming Guy Cousineau
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

The Naive approach is to find all the possible combinations of values from n dice and keep on counting the results that sum to X. Functional programming: Functional programming is as old as procedural programming. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. How BJJ was nearly highjacked by the "functional fitness" approach. It explains how ideas look in F#-a functional language-as well as how they can be successfully used to solve programming problems in C#. Learn some functional programming through use of Scala, as contrasted with Java. If I were to define it in my own words I would do it comparing the imperative approach to programming with the functional one. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming. Needless abstraction is cancer to a S&C program, trying to mimic sports specific performance using general preparatory tools never ends well. However imperative programming is highly error-prone approach to programming and can obstruct optimizations and implementation opportunities that better abstractions provide. This problem can be efficiently solved using Dynamic Programming (DP). In fact, the two approaches were the original schism in programming conceptualization. Car Talk Puzzler #2: What do these words have in common? Having this as an opening chapter was a nice way to introduce the functional approach to programming.
