Functional programming
Functional programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data. It emphasizes the application of functions, in contrast with the imperative programming style that emphasizes changes in state.Functional languages include APLErlangHaskellLispMLOz and Scheme. Functional programming languages, especially purely functional ones, have largely been emphasized in academia rather than in commercial software development. However, notable functional programming languages used in industry and commercial applications include Erlang (concurrent applications), R (statistics), Mathematica (symbolic math), HaskellMLJ and K (financial analysis), and domain-specific programming languages like XSLT.
