So the way I've approached this is to report on three things I've noticed during my transition from mostly-Java to Scala, and consequently I'm not sure how much of this is really about functional programming. In certain cases I've ended up taking the functional approach to such extremes that I've been left questioning my original choice of implementation language. In our case, an operation would be a function. The Naive approach is to find all the possible combinations of values from n dice and keep on counting the results that sum to X. In general, functional programming is right. Learn some functional programming through use of Scala, as contrasted with Java. This problem can be efficiently solved using Dynamic Programming (DP). It starts off with simple, introductory topics and explains concepts of functional approach to programming. As anyone with even a passing familiarity with functional programming knows (and I accept that passing familiarity usually comes only after three to five years), things in a functional language don't do anything (the way procedures execute or variables change in conventional languages); instead they are something, and what they are never changes.

A pure functional approach is not a good fit for games. Games (and graphics, and physics, and AI) and basically all about state changes. The book assumes no prior knowledge of Haskell or functional programming. If you reduce the amount of code that you are programming, you can decrease the amount of possible bugs by reducing its cyclomatic complexity. Elixir is a programming language for the Erlang VM. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. In my opinion, the correct way of representing an operation in a programming language is a function. A term may OK, clearly there's lots wrong with this approach, so let's see if a functional approach can do any better.
