Standards

✅ - At least one insight covers this

❌ - Nothing covers this

🛠️ - This standard has no objectives yet

❌ Contrast Functional Programming with Imperative Programming

  1. ❌ Distinguish between imperative and functional code
  2. ❌ Evaluate the suitability of a functional style of programming for a given task
  3. ❌ Refactor iterative code into functional code

❌ Write pure functions in Python

  1. ❌ Analyze a function to determine whether side effects will occur
  2. ❌ Distinguish between pure and impure functions
  3. ❌ Write pure functions in Python

❌ Identify and use Python’s functional programming features

  1. ❌ Use python's library of built-in functions to transform data using the iterator protocol
  2. ❌ Use list and dictionary comprehensions to transform data in a functional style
  3. ❌ Use decorators to modularize code
  4. ❌ Use decorators to handle errors in a data pipeline
  5. ❌ Use generators to generate iterators

❌ Use comprehensions to transform data

  1. ✅ Read python comprehensions and predict the result
  2. ❌ Read complex or nested comprehension statements and predict the result
  3. ❌ Use list comprehensions to iterate over and transform a list of data
  4. ✅ Use dictionary comprehensions to iterate over and transform a dictionary of data
  5. ✅ Use set comprehensions to iterate over and transform a set of data
  6. ✅ Use nested comprehensions to transform multidimensional data

❌ Use libraries to provide extended support for functional programming

  1. ❌ Recognize functional programming features not native to python
  2. ❌ Use a library to provide support for immutable data structures
  3. ❌ Use a library to provide support for Functors, such as Applicative Functors and Monads

Aspects

Given the insights are tagged with aspects, we can filter over the linear content progression and create learning sub-paths.

These sub-path progressions will most likely not cover all content, but they will ensure and enforce an unified learning experience, tailor for the user wish.

For example, a user might be interested in new additions and updates of a language, rather than introduction lessions. Note that these sub-paths don't take games into consideration
