===== Functional Programming =====
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**FunctionalProgramming** (also called FP) is a way of thinking about software construction by creating pure functions. It avoid concepts of shared state, mutable data observed in [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:oop|Object Oriented Programming]].

Functional languages emphasizes on expressions and declarations rather than execution of statements. Therefore, unlike other procedures which depend on a local or global state, value output in FP depends only on the arguments passed to the function.
