FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
  • Functional programming languages are specially designed to handle symbolic computation and list processing applications. 
  • Functional programming is based on mathematical functions. 
  • Some of the popular functional programming languages include: Lisp,Python,Haskell, etc.
Functional programming category:
1. Pure Functional Languages
2. Impure Functional Languages
1. Pure Functional Languages: These types of functional languages support only the functional paradigms. For example- Haskell.
2. Impure Functional Languages: These types of functional languages support the functional paradigms and imperative style programming. For example- LISP.
Advntages:
1. Bugs free code
2. Supports nested functions
3. Efficiency
