Classical higher-order functions: Overview
There exists a few higher-order functions via which a wide variety of problems can be solved by simple combinations
- Overview:
- Mapping: Application of a function on all elements in a list
- Filtering: Collection of elements from a list which satisfy a particular condition
- Accumulation: Pair wise combination of the elements of a list to a value of another type
- Zipping: Combination of two lists to a single list
The functions mentioned above represent abstractions of algorithmic patterns in the
functional paradigm
