The Concept of Date and Time in Java-8

Functional Programming, Java, , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi guys, Let’s discuss the concept of Date and Time in Java 8. Well, it was already there then why again in java 8? That is because previously we have many issues in working. So, there are many improvements in java 8 which we will see here. Advantages over old Date-Time API First, we see how the new API is better than the older one: Continue Reading

Operations in Java Streams

Functional Programming, Java, , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi guys, with release of Java 8 we get new features like lambda functions, streams etc. and in this blog we are going to have an overview of Streams.Streams reduces the effort for using and accessing the elements in any Collection. So here we will see what are different types of operation in Streams and when to use them. Streams Definition Streams are used when Continue Reading

Combinators- A functional approach of error handling in ‘Rust’

Functional Programming, Rust, Scala, , , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes In this world, everyone is interested in the spikes whether it is related to professional thing or personal. In this blog, I am going to give you spikes of the programming practices in Rust. Error Handling – process of handling the possibility of failure Today, every programmer is worried whether he has implemented error handling in right manner or not. There are various ways to Continue Reading

Functional Interfaces In Java8

Functional Programming, Java, Scala, , ,

Reading Time: 2 minutes Hello readers, as you have visited here, you must be aware of Interfaces in Java. Before Java 8, all methods defined in an interface are public and abstract by default. After Java 8, there were certain enhancements in interfaces. Amongst all the enhancements in Java 8, one of them is “Functional Interface”. What are Functional Interfaces? In Java, the term functional interface refers to those Continue Reading

Back2Basics: Understanding Partially Applied Functions

Scala, , , , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog, we are going to talk about Partially applied functions and its use case. Before starting, first, we will emphasize that though Partial functions and Partially applied functions sound similar they are different from each other. To understand Partial Functions refer. What is function application? Applying a function is called calling a function. When we pass all arguments of the function, we can Continue Reading

ScalaFP: Firsthand With Scala-Cats Monads – #1

Functional Programming, Scala, , , , , , , , , ,

Reading Time: 4 minutes In the previous post, we had a look at the reasons behind the monads and how monads can help us design the programs in a functional style. Now we are going to explore some of the monads which are frequently used in the applications but not available within the Scala predefined libraries. We will be exploring the monads which are provided by the scala-cats functional Continue Reading

ScalaFP: Let’s Find The Reasons Behind Monads.

Functional Programming, Scala, , , , ,

Reading Time: 5 minutes Monads in Functional Programming play an important role but they mostly confuse the beginners. One of the reasons for the confusion is that they mostly have a knowledge of imperative style programming, where they have no idea about function composition and its importance. In the terms of functional programming, the composition is the root where we have a set(Z) and we compose the elements of Continue Reading

Back2Basics: Exception Handling – #2

Scala, , , , , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes In our previous blog, we have seen how we can handle exceptions using try/catch and Try block.  In this blog, we will explore how we can handle exceptions using Either. Either, just like a Try, is also a container type which can have one value either Left or Right at a time. We can also use Option to handle exceptions but if an exception occurs returning Continue Reading

Back2Basics: Exception Handling – #1

Scala, , , , , ,

Reading Time: 3 minutes While building an application, it is common that something might go wrong. What if there is an attempt to divide a number by 0 or fetching the data from the database which does not exist, or reading a file which can’t be located? We need to handle such situations to make sure our application does not go down. Every language provides ways to handle such Continue Reading

ScalaFP: Welcome To The World Of Functors

Functional Programming, Scala, , , , , , , ,

Reading Time: 4 minutes In functional programming, we have various pillars like Functors, Monads, Applicative and more. Today we will try to explore one of these pillars called Functors. First let’s explore function composition: Function Composition:  In this diagram, we have 3 sets called A, B, and C. Set A contains an element called x. Suppose, we need to convert our Set A elements into Set C. But we have no Continue Reading
