Functional Programming 2

Prompt: Is functional programming like building a rocket with Legos?
By: ChatGPT (chat.openai.com)

Functional programming and building a rocket with Legos are not directly related. However, there are some similarities between the two that we can draw upon to help understand functional programming.

Just like building a rocket with Legos requires breaking down a complex task into smaller, simpler steps, functional programming involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, simpler functions. Both activities require careful planning and attention to detail to ensure that everything fits together correctly.

In addition, just as Legos can be easily taken apart and reassembled in different ways to create new structures, functions in functional programming can be reused and combined in different ways to solve new problems.

So, while functional programming and building a rocket with Legos are not the same thing, they do share some similarities in terms of the importance of breaking down complex tasks into smaller, simpler components, and the ability to reuse those components in different ways.
