Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 01 - Introduction to Functional Programming - Functions are Fir

The video tutorial explores the differences between functional programming and object-oriented programming, highlighting the concept of first-class functions in functional programming. It explains how functions can be treated as first-class citizens, unlike in traditional programming paradigms where functions cannot be passed as parameters or returned as values. The tutorial introduces the benefits of functional programming and outlines steps to learn it through simple examples, aiming to make the concepts accessible to beginners.

What is the primary distinction between functional programming and object-oriented programming?

• Object-oriented programming is faster.

• Functional programming does not use variables.

• Object-oriented programming uses classes.

• Functions are first-class citizens in functional programming.

In traditional programming, which of the following is NOT possible with functions?

• Storing objects in variables.

• Returning functions from methods.

• Passing functions as parameters.

• Assigning functions to variables.

What does functional programming aim to achieve with functions?

• Make functions faster.

• Give functions first-class status.

• Eliminate the use of functions.

• Convert functions to objects.

Which of the following is a feature of functional programming?

• Functions are only used for calculations.

• Functions must return objects.

• Functions cannot be passed as arguments.

• Functions can be stored in variables.

What is the next step after understanding the basics of functional programming?

• Exploring advanced object-oriented concepts.

• Studying algorithm efficiency.

• Learning about data structures.

• Creating variables with functions.
