SIDE TO SIDE RULES COMPARISON
FUNCTIONAL VS OBJECT-ORIENTED
• how to perform tasks and
how to track changes

• state changes are important
• order of execution is
important
• flow controlled by loops,
conditionals, function calls
• instances of structures and
classes
• focus on what information is
needed and what
transformations required
• state changes are non-existent
• order of execution is low-
important
• flow controlled by function
calls including recursion
• functions are first class
objects, data collections
— Greenspun’s tenth rule of programming
ANY SUFFICIENTLY COMPLICATED C OR
FORTRAN PROGRAM CONTAINS AN AD-HOC,
INFORMALLY-SPECIFIED, BUG-RIDDEN, SLOW
IMPLEMENTATION OF HALF OF COMMON LISP.
