Introducing functional programming

So, functional programming wants you to distribute your programming logic into small pieces of reusable declarative small and pure functions. Distributing your logic into small pieces of code will make the code modular and non-complex, thus you will be able to refactor/change any module/part of the code at any given point without any effects to other modules.

Functional programming requires some interfaces and support from the language, thus we can't say any language is functional unless it gives some sort of support to implement functional programming. However, functional programming isn't something new; it is actually quite an old concept and has several languages supporting it. We call those languages functional programming languages, and the following is a list of some of the most popular functional programming languages:

Lisp
Clojure
Wolfram
Erlang
OCaml
Haskell
Scala
F#

Lisp and Haskell are some of the oldest languages and are still used today in academia and...
