About this title

Synopsis

Functional programming, is a style of programming that has become increasingly popular during the past few years. Applicative programs have the advantage of being almost immediately expressible as functional descriptions; they can be proved correct and transformed through the referential transparency property. This book presents the basic concepts of functional programming, using the language HASKELL for examples. The author incorporates a discussion of lambda calculus and its relationship with HASKELL, exploring the implications for parallelism.

Book Description

The basic concepts of applicative programming are presented using the language HASKELL for examples. In addition to exploring the implications for parallelism, a discussion of lamda calculus and its relationship with SASL is included.
