Can this be mapped to final result achieved when one move in one direction vs another (I mean ultimately both programming paradigm goal is to have easier and maintainable code, isn't ? ) | |
| Oct 16, 2010 at 20:23 | comment | added | Tim Goodman | "Independent" is a good way to put it. It's not that they're opposites, but whether your code is a functional programming style or an object oriented programming style are two separate things. Think of them like the x and y axes on a graph -- you can move up and down one while staying fixed on the other. (In the mathematical sense, a vector in the x-direction and a vector in the y-direction are literally orthogonal -- the CS definition is related.) | |
