Functional programming and procedural programming often provide different views of the same thing. When I declare a function, such as y = 2x I may think of this as a procedure (sequential process ...

The functional programming paradigm, which has been around for decades, has never gone out of style. In this two-part series, we look at Microsoft's implementation, Visual F#.

Functional programming means using functions to the best effect for creating clean and maintainable software. This article illustrates the concepts behind the functional paradigm with practical ...

A new procedure for mixed integer programming is presented. It is applicable where the integer variables must be either zero or one, and where the integer variables are divided into sets such that the ...

Academic researchers have published a study investigating the effect of programming languages on software quality, concluding the issue is hard to quantify but also identifying significant findings, ...

We develop a sequential sampling procedure for a class of stochastic programs. We assume that a sequence of feasible solutions with an optimal limit point is given as input to our procedure. Such a ...

“Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) has been created with one goal in mind -- to manage the complexity of procedural codebases.
