    Functional Programming in Java

    Functional programming is a declarative programming paradigm where the basic unit of computation is a function. Functions are treated like mathematical functions that map inputs to outputs without altering program state. In functional programming, software is developed by evaluating functions rather than executing a sequence of statements. Some key aspects include functions being isolated, independent units that depend only on their arguments and do not modify global variables. This makes the code more concise, readable and predictable compared to imperative programming.

    Functional Programming in Java

    Functional programming is a subset of the Declarative programming paradigm.


    Functional programming technique makes our code more concise, readable, and
    predictable.
    Introduction to Programming Paradigm

    Programming Paradigm is a way or style of programming. The programming paradigm can


    be classified into two types:

     Imperative programming paradigm


     Declarative programming paradigm

    Imperative Programming Paradigm

    Imperative programming paradigm consists of a sequence of statements that changes the


    program's state until the target result is achieved. The main focus is on how to achieve the
    goal. It consists of three main programming approaches:

     Procedural programming
     Object Oriented programming
     Parallel Processing Approach

    public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    int sum = 0;

    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i ++) {

    sum += i;

    System.out.println(sum);

    Declarative Programming Paradigm

    Declarative programming is a paradigm in which we define what needs to be accomplished


    without defining how it has to be implemented. In the declarative programming paradigm, for
    the same input arguments, the program produces the same result. The order of execution of
    statements is not important in the declarative programming paradigm. It consists of three
    main programming approaches:

     Logic programming paradigm


     Functional programming
     Database processing approach

    import java.util.Arrays;

    public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    int[] array = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

    int[] evenArray = Arrays.stream(array)

    .filter(a -> a % 2 == 0)

    .toArray();

    System.out.println(Arrays.toString(evenArray));

    In this example, the input array is converted to stream. The filter() method is invoked for
    each value in the stream and it is evaluated with the expression a -> a % 2 == 0.

    filter(1) => false


    filter(2) => true
    filter(3) => false
    filter(4) => true
    filter(5) => false

    The filter() method passes the value to the next operation i.e. toArray() only if the expression
    inside it evaluates to true. So, in this case, only 2 and 4 are passed to toArray() operation, and
    hence the output is [2, 4].

    Here, we didn't define the steps to filter the even numbers. Instead, we told the compiler what
    we want via the expression filter(a -> a % 2 == 0).

    What is Functional Programming in Java?


    Functional programming is a paradigm where the basic unit of computation is a
    function.
    Here functions are not the methods we write in programming. Methods are
    procedures where we write a sequence of instructions to tell the computer what
    to do. In functional programming, functions are treated like mathematical
    functions where we map inputs to outputs to produce a result. Eg.

    f(x)=3x.
    In functional programming, the software is developed around the evaluation of
    functions.
    The functions are isolated and independent, and they depend only on the
    arguments passed to them and do not alter the program's state like modifying a
    global variable.
