Synopsis
This book gives an introduction to functions in R and how to write functional programs. Functional programming is a style of programming, like object-oriented programming, but one that focuses on data transformations and calculations rather than objects and state. In functional programming, you model programs by describing how functions translate input data to output data. Functions themselves are data you can manipulate them, building more complex functions by combining...
From the Back Cover
Master functions and discover how to write functional programs in R. In this book, you'll make your functions pure by avoiding side-effects; you’ll write functions that manipulate other functions, and you’ll construct complex functions using simpler functions as building blocks.
In Functional Programming in R, you’ll see how we can replace loops, which can have side-effects, with recursive functions that can more easily avoid them. In addition, the...
