Functional programming is a paradigm that emphasizes expressing program logic as compositions of pure functions. PHP is a good fit for functional programming as functions are first-class citizens in its userland.
 
This course introduces you to the core concepts of functional programming, like pure functions, immutable data structures, and referential transparency. From there, you'll explore ways to handle errors with default values and callbacks while also exploring sum types such as Either or Maybe. Next, you'll look at functors before diving deep into monads, including IO, State, Reader, and List.
 
By the end of this course, you'll have a keen understanding of how to apply these principles in practice through a worked-out project. Not only will you know another way to program, but you’ll also feel confident enough to apply these ideas to your projects in PHP.

## Problem statement

Write a simple REPL using the IO monad that reads user input and outputs its uppercase version.

## Expected behavior of the REPL 

### Sample input 1
```
>>> i am PHP developer
```
### Expected output
```
I AM PHP DEVELOPER
```

### Sample input 2
```
>>> functional programming
```
### Expected output
```
FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
```
