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.

## Overview

When a function produces an immutable result, it’s always possible that it modifies an external state in the process. This is especially visible in value objects and persistent data structures where artifacts, such as iterative control structures, create multiple encapsulated data structures before producing a single result. **Transients** allow for the exertion of control in situations where some form of mutation is common and offer a non-trivial performance benefit in languages like Clojure. Using the principle of transient mutation, it's possible to mimic the concept for PHP.

## The `TransientMutator` trait

Because the purpose of a transient is to control mutation, its internal structure should contain procedures for checking whether a mutation has occurred and for producing a new copy of an object’s state. 

### The transient trait in in the `bingo-functional` library

An example of the `TransientMutator` trait in the `bingo-functional` library is shown below:
