Map, Filter, Reduce - Higher-Order Functions for Functional Data Pipeline Design

A deep-dive on higher-order functions and how they can be used in designing data transformations for functional data pipelines

Recap

In my previous post on functional programming features for “control flow”, I provided an overview of function composition, and discussed the use of higher-order functions and recursion as a form of “functional iteration”.

In this post, we will explore more on higher-order functions and how they can be used in designing functional data pipelines.

Before that, let’s start with …
