Mastering Functional Programming with Python, Neutreon B., 2024.

   This book is designed with a very specific goal in mind: to comprehensively explore the principles and practices of functional programming within the context of Python programming language. Our approach reflects a careful balance between theory and practice, ensuring that foundational concepts are not only explained but are also illustrated with practical examples.
Functional programming, a paradigm with its roots in the lambda calculus, emphasizes functions as the primary mechanism for program execution. It offers a different perspective and set of strategies compared to imperative programming, which is more commonly encountered in the Python world. Through the course of this book, we aim to demystify functional programming concepts, making them accessible and applicable to Python developers.




Immutability in Functional Programming.
Immutability is a cornerstone concept in functional programming, enforcing the idea that data should not be changed once created. This principle aids in reducing side effects, simplifying debugging, and making code easier to reason about. In Python, which supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, understanding immutability and its implications is critical for embracing functional programming principles effectively.

In functional programming, data structures are immutable, meaning once a data structure is created, it cannot be altered. For every modification or update, a new instance of the data structure is created with the desired changes, leaving the original untouched. This approach contrasts sharply with imperative programming, where data structures are often mutable and changes to data are made in place.
