Chapter 6.  Sequences - The Core of Data Processing Patterns

In this chapter, we will take a deep dive into one of the most essential and utterly important arrangements of functional programming, that is, sequences. The ability to represent any data transformation as a composition of atomic functions applied to the elements of an arbitrary enumerable data container is a must for a functional programmer. The goal of this chapter is to help you acquire this mental skill. The way towards this goal is paved by the following topics covered here:

  • Review the basic data transformations and partition the immense host of standard library data transformation functions by handful of underlying processing patterns
  • Consider the duality of sequence data generators being at once a data and an on-demand calculation
  • Cover how a sequence generalizes arbitrary collections by enumerating them, which represents the pull data transformation pattern
  • Further consider just another pattern of using generated...
