Composing Functions

Function composition is the process of applying the function to the output of another function.

Working Memory

Signal Noise To Ratio

Concise code can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of your code.

Surface Area For Bugs

less code = less the surface area for bugs = fewer bugs

Composing Object

There are primitives:

const firstName = "gold"
const lastName = "eli"

This is a composite:

const obj = {
  firstName: "gold"
  lastName: "eli"
}

Function

Functions may serve the following purpose:

• mapping
• Procederg
• I/O

Pure Function

• process the input return the output. Given the same input, will always return the same output.
• Produce no side effect

[goldEli]

We can grasp the meaning of functional programming:

• Pure Functions
• Function Composition
• Avoid shared state
• Avoid mutating state
• Avoid side effects
