Part 3:Practical Functional Programming

In this part, we move from theory to practice, exploring how to apply functional programming concepts to real-world scenarios. We’ll start with recursion and tail calls, learning how to write efficient recursive functions. Then, we’ll explore currying and partial application, techniques that allow you to create more flexible and reusable functions. Finally, we’ll look at how to combine functions to create powerful data processing pipelines, bringing together many of the concepts learned throughout the book.

This part has the following chapters:

• Chapter 8, Recursion and Tail Calls
• Chapter 9, Currying and Partial Application
• Chapter 10, Pipelines and Composition
