Functional Programming bits and pieces
summary
Compares a Java ternary max implementation to a Haskell version to show how pure functions simplify testing and reasoning, uses GHCi to demo map/filter/fold by taking 1..10, filtering evens, doubling to get [4,8,12,16,20] and folding to sum to 60, and shows an interactive main :: IO that prints and reads a name to illustrate how IO type isolates side effects. Recommends Haskell Platform, "The Haskell Book", and Exercism for hands‑on practice.
