Functional Java: It’s good to be lazy

Reading Time: 5 minutes In Java, we are often tempted towards writing a code which is executed eagerly. There’s a good reason for that – eager code is easy to write and to reason about. But delaying commitments until the last responsible moment is a good agile practice. When executing the code, we can gain performance by being just a little lazy.  In this blog, we will try to Continue Reading

Basics of Functional Interface And Lambda Expression in Java8

Reading Time: 3 minutes Java is based on OOPS concepts and abstraction is one of its feature. So by using interfaces in Java, we achieve abstraction. Like a class, an interface can have methods and variables, but the methods declared in an interface are by default abstract (method signature without body).

ScalaFP: Firsthand With Scala-Cats Monads – #1

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

Getting Lazy With Scala

Reading Time: 4 minutes In this blog, we will talk about lazy evaluation in Scala. How we can add efficiency to our application? Efficiency is achieved not just by running things faster, but by avoiding things that shouldn’t be done in the first place. In functional programming, lazy evaluation means efficiency.  Laziness lets us separate the description of an expression from the evaluation of that expression. This gives us Continue Reading

Exploring the Real Power of Functional Programming

Reading Time: 3 minutes We have been programming with object-oriented technology for quite a while. But now we are moving away from it. Functional Programming is getting lot of attention nowadays. Even every mainstream language is now supporting functional style i.e Java, C++, C# etc. Basically, it is one of the paradigm of writing code where we write less code and do more. Why do we really care about Continue Reading
