If your program functions, it's functional.
Turns out I really love functional programming after all ๐น
What if my program is objectionable?
And if it doesn't have objects, then it has no class!
Functions, here, being the key word.
Functions are pure mappings from input to output.
wooosh
I agree with you that if you use functions it's functional.
But many people don't really realize how that contrasts with procedures and procedural code.
I'd be oriented to object
Apparently my brain silently inserted "ing with" into the middle of "program functions" a half dozen times without me noticing.
perchance you were objectively oriented?
