Recursion has more expressive power than iterative looping constructs. I say this because a while loop is equivalent to a tail recursive function and recursive functions need not be tail recursive.

Functions are deterministic In functional programming, given a particular set of inputs, a function always returns the same set of outputs. For example, the following function writing in Clojure is ...

If you want to master functional programming, the best place to start is with the Java Function interface. This example will show you four different ways to implement this functional interface in your ...

In this article, we study some new characterizations of primitive recursive functions based on restricted forms of primitive recursion, improving the pioneering work of R. M. Robinson and M. D.
