Functional Programming and Comprehensions

Functional programming is a somewhat hidden aspect of Python. Though it supports many of the functional constructs, the style is not widely adopted. On the flip side, functional programming appears to be making a resurgence because of the benefits it can provide.

Comprehensions are an alternative Pythonic construct for programming in a similar manner. These are features of Python that are commonly used instead of their functional counterparts. This book covers:

  • List comprehensions
  • Generator expressions
  • Set comprehensions
  • Dict comprehensions

Write Python code like the masters

These constructs, while not necessary per se, allow you to be more succinct, reuse code, and think about code in a different way. You will learn:

  • How the constructs work
  • When to use them
  • Real-life examples from the standard library
  • To understand other' 'code

This book covers many of these intermediate constructs that are available in Python. The book covers both Python 2 and 3. Topics include:

  • Functional programming
  • List comprehensions
  • Generator expressions
  • Set and dict comprehensions
