Functional Programming Through Construction : First Principles
- 1. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley LEARNING FP THROUGH CONSTRUCTION: FIRST PRINCIPLES Cameron Presley @pcameronpresley Cameron@TheSoftwareMentor.com Slides can be found at: https://blog.TheSoftwareMentor.com/Presentations
- 4. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Outline ▪ Introduction to Mars Rover Kata ▪ Determine data models ▪ Determine functions ▪ Wire everything together
- 6. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Objective You are part of the team that explores Mars by sending remotely controlled vehicles to the surface of the planet. Develop an API that translates the commands sent from earth to instructions that are understood by the rover.
- 7. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Requirements ▪ Know what the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing. ▪ Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b). ▪ Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).
- 8. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Requirements ▪ Know what the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing. ▪ Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b). ▪ Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).
- 10. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley What are the Nouns you heard in the description? Direction Rover Command
- 15. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley So a Rover has an X, a Y, and a Direction, but how do I make developers provide values?
- 17. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Forced developers to specify necessary information Good, right?...
- 22. @pcameronpresley @pcameronpresley @pcameronpresley An immutable object is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is created
- 24. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Keeping Track of Changing State is Hard…
- 25. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Requirements ▪ Know what the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing. ▪ Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b). ▪ Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).
- 26. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Requirements ▪ Know what the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing. ▪ Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b). ▪ Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).
- 27. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley When Moving Forward If facing North, Y increases by 1 If facing South, Y decreases by 1 If facing East, X increases by 1 If facing West, X decreases by 1
- 28. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Design Implications Since the rover is going to move, we need to create a new state to represent the rover….
- 29. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Rover Rover.y+1 Rover.y-1 Rover.x+1 Rover.x-1 Rover Facing North Facing South Facing East Facing West Move Forward Mapping
- 30. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Rover Rover.y+1 Rover.y-1 Rover.x+1 Rover.x-1 Rover Facing North Facing South Facing East Facing West Are there any directions in the first group that aren’t mapped at all?
- 31. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Rover Rover.y+1 Rover.y-1 Rover.x+1 Rover.x-1 Rover Facing North Facing South Facing East Facing West Are there any directions in the first group that aren’t mapped at all? Are there any directions in the first group such that they are mapped to two different outputs?
- 33. @pcameronpresley @pcameronpresley @pcameronpresley A function is a mapping between two sets such that every element in the first set maps to a single element in the second set
- 34. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Months February April January March … # of Days 28 29 30 31 Mapping for Days in a Month
- 35. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Months February April January March … # of Days 28 29 30 31 Mapping for Days in a Month

- 44. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley When Turning Left If facing North, then faces West If facing South, then faces East If facing East, then faces North If facing West, then faces South
- 45. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Design Implications Since the rover is going to move, we need to create a new state to represent the rover….
- 46. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Rover Now Faces West Now Faces East Now Faces North Now Faces South Rover Facing North Facing South Facing East Facing West
- 49. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Requirements ▪ Know what the initial starting point (x,y) of a rover and the direction (N,S,E,W) it is facing. ▪ Implement commands that move the rover forward/backward (f,b). ▪ Implement commands that turn the rover left/right (l,r).

- 82. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Wrapping Up Immutability removes the ability for random access to internal state which reduces complexity
- 83. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Wrapping Up Functions are mappings from one type to another such that for every element of the first type, its mapped to a single element of the second type
- 84. @pcameronpresley@pcameronpresley Wrapping Up Composition allows us to combine smaller programs (functions) into larger programs.

Editor's Notes
- Could model like this Any issues? For the C# version, would need to make sure that all fields were specified first.
- Anything wrong with this method? What about this part? That seems to be a bit weird… Based on the signature, I wouldn’t expect this to happen, but no way to enforce this…
- * Here’s the definition for Rover * Here’s the change we’ll make to prevent the issue from before (remove setter)
- Once we change the type, the “wrongness” starts to really be obvious
- Same object reference being used in multiple places… Parallel Processing Code
- Moving Forward can be thought of Given a rover A rover is returned If the given rover is facing north Then a rover is returned with a y that is one more than the previous
- In other words, is there a reason why we couldn’t get a Rover back for any Rover facing a direction? (Onto)
- In other words, is there any rover facing a direction where if we called this function, we’d get two different values? (one-to-one)
- Not a function because one element in the first set is mapped to two different elements
- Not a function because not ever element in the first set is mapped to an element in the second set
- Moving Forward can be thought of Given a rover A rover is returned If the given rover is facing north Then a rover is returned with a y that is one more than the previous
- If functions aren’t onto, that means there are use cases/results you have to “remember” to handle (no type system to help you out
- If functions aren’t onto, that means there are use cases/results you must “remember” to handle (no type system to help you out
- Any entry in the first set that has multiple outputs? Any entry in the first set that’s not mapped to the second set?
- Converting user input to Command
- Clean Architecture General Workflow Pattern (Data comes in, Gets Processed, Data Goes Out)
- How many times do we need to process a list? (4 times, 1 per Select and 1 for the Aggregate)
- Can only work if both functions to be composed are actually functions!
- By composing, we get the iterations down to 2 If you see a Select, followed by Aggregate (or a Map followed by a Reduce), we can combine the two!
- Not ideal, having to iterate the list 3 times
