A for-loop is somewhat similar to an inductive argument. Just as the truth of a proposition P(n + 1) depends on the truth of P(n), the correctness of iteration n+1 of a for-loop de...
: Functional programs often combine separate parts of the program using intermediate data structures for communicating results. Programs so defined are easier to understand and mai...
