Feeling functional in C#
This section will discuss about functional programming in C#. We will be discussing both the conceptual aspects of functional programming and write code in C#, as well. We will be kick-starting the discussion by discussing about currying, pipelining, and method chaining.
Using mathematical concept to understand functional approach
In functional programming, functions behave the way a mathematical function behaves by returning the same value for a given argument regardless of the context in which it is invoked. This is called Referential Transparency. To understand this in more detail, consider that we have the following mathematical function notation, and we want to turn it into functional programming in C#:
f(x) = 4x2
