list processing
About this tag
This tag covers discussions on list processing, particularly in the context of functional programming. Content includes advanced topics such as folds (also known as bananas) and catamorphic recursion schemes, as seen in the Bird-Meertens Formalism and Haskell's higher-order list processing tradition. The material is drawn from technical lectures and references to functional programming concepts, with a focus on list manipulation techniques. While the tag appears in a Windows forum, the content is programming-oriented and not specific to Windows or Microsoft products.
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...
