List-based Dataflow Programming
Learn how functional programming allows us to construct programs in the dataflow style by connecting functions.
We'll cover the following
Dataflow programming paradigm
Dataflow programming is a programming paradigm in which we model programs as directed graphs consisting of nodes and directed edges connecting the nodes. A node represents an operation that accepts inputs and produces output. A directed edge from node A to node B sends A’s output as B’s input. To illustrate, let’s use an example of arithmetic calculation from Bert Sutherland’s Ph.D. thesis titled “The on-line graphical specification of computer procedures,” which pioneered dataflow programming.
