| 27 | <blockquote><p><i>Functional programming is so called because a program consists entirely of functions. The main program itself is written as a function which receives the program's input as its argument and delivers the program's output as its result. Typically the main function is defined in terms of other functions, which in turn are defined in terms of still more functions until at the bottom level the functions are language primitives.</i></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><b><i>John Hughes</i></b>-- <i>Why Functional Programming Matters</i></p></blockquote><a name="influences_and_related_work"></a><h2>Influences and Related Work</h2><p> | |
