FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING.

Bibliographic Details
Title: FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING.
Authors: Walinsky, Clifford1
Source: Encyclopedia of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. 1999 1st Edition, Vol. 8, p25-37. 13p.
Subjects: Functional programming languages, Information theory, Lambda calculus, Mathematical logic, Artificial intelligence, Data structures
Abstract: The article focuses on functional programming languages. Functional languages are the subject of ongoing research in extending semantics and in implementation. Functional programming languages are based on lambda calculus. The simplicity of lambda calculus and its computational rules accounts for the simplicity of functional programming languages, which in turn makes programming far less error-prone. Functional languages have been used primarily in Artificial Intelligence applications, due to the heavy use of recursively defined data structures.
