functional programming

What is functional programming?

a way of thinking about software construction by creating pure functions

## What is a pure function and how do we know if something is a pure function?

does not use any external data to obtain the return value

## What are the benefits of a pure function?

1- easier to reason about

2-easier to combine

3-easier to test

4- easier to debug

5-easier to parallelize

## What is immutability?

unable to change (If we need, we create a new one, but we do not modify the existing object’s state.)

## What is Referential transparency?

can be replaced with its value and the resulting behavior is the same as before the change.

## What is a module? (another javaScript file) blocks of encapsulated code that communicates with an external application on the basis of their related functionality.

What does the word ‘require’ do?

builtin require function is the easiest way to include modules that exist in separate files.

How do we bring another module into the file the we are working in?

using require

What do we have to do to make a module available?

require it and then use exports to speccifiy which spicif things we want to make avialble to the other moudle

module.exports =
