Introduction to OCaml Programming – Part 3

Welcome to the world of Higher Order Functions in OCaml, where programming is elevated to an art form. This course is your gateway to mastering the intricacies of functional programming, exploring OCaml’s expressive capabilities, and harnessing the unparalleled power of higher-order functions.

Functional programming is not just a programming paradigm; it’s a mindset that simplifies complex problems and enhances code reliability. In this course, you’ll embark on a journey through OCaml, a language known for its strong functional programming support.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Functional Programming Concepts: Explore the core principles of functional programming, including immutability, pure functions, and recursion.
2. Higher-Order Functions: Dive deep into the concept of higher-order functions, learning how functions can be treated as first-class citizens in OCaml.
3. Anonymous Functions: Discover the power of anonymous functions (also known as lambda functions) and how they simplify complex logic.
4. Function Composition: Learn how to combine functions to create elegant and reusable code.
5. Currying: Understand currying and how it enables you to create specialized functions from general ones.
6. Map, Filter, and Reduce: Master the trio of higher-order functions that are indispensable for processing collections of data.
7. Recursion: Explore the beauty of recursive functions and how they are a fundamental building block of functional programming.
8. Pattern Matching: Delve into pattern matching, a powerful feature in OCaml for handling complex data structures.
