functional programming

Functional programming is a way of writing code that will perform a certain task, like a game or app. It involves using functions, which are blocks of code that can be reused for multiple tasks without repeating the same code. Functional programming makes writing code faster and easier by breaking it down into smaller pieces that can each be tested more easily, and the same code can be used over and over again to perform multiple tasks. This makes code more efficient and easier to maintain.
