catamorphism

About this tag
Catamorphism is a functional programming concept often referred to as a 'fold' or 'banana' in programming slang. This tag covers discussions about catamorphic recursion schemes, particularly in the context of higher-order list processing and the Bird-Meertens Formalism. The content includes lectures by Dr. Ralf Lämmel on advanced functional programming topics, such as folds and bananas, which are fundamental to understanding recursive data structures. While the tag originates from a Windows-focused forum, the discussions are purely about functional programming theory and are not related to Windows, Microsoft, hardware, or enterprise IT.

    Windows 7 C9 Lectures: Dr. Ralf Lämmel - Going Bananas

    Dr. Ralf Lämmel returns for an exploration of folds, aka bananas. This is lecture 5 in his C9 Lecture series covering advanced functional programming topics. Welcome back, Ralf! We're so happy to have you here! Why bananas, Ralf? Banana is functional programming slang for "fold"—an application...
