This fourth JavaScript exercise helps you level up your functional programming skills, leading you through a resistor color duo example.

Practicing Functional JavaScript helps you level up your functional programming skills. Working with functions is the best practical place to get started with functional programming and a great way to practice patterns that can be used in any code base. Understanding concepts like function composition and referential transparency is more useful when you can recognize them through repeated exposure to the patterns in specific examples.

  • Rethinking Null

    Emma Litwa-Vulcu

    Null is often treated as a useful representation of no data, but maybe we should rethink this. As one Sparkboxer was learning more about Rust, they discovered that the best way to handle null should be to configure it as a fail state as early as possible.
