Functional Programming is built on seven key concepts: declarative functions, pure functions, higher order functions, shared state, immutability, side effects, and function composition.

Declarative functions focus on what the solution or goal is, instead of how we get the solution. Declarative functions are designed to abstract away a lot of the imperative approach to code. They help developers code more in keeping with the mental model of the developer, instead of the operational model of the machine running the code.
