How to combine functional and object-oriented paradigms
One of the strengths of C# is its ability to seamlessly combine functional and object-oriented programming paradigms. By leveraging the best of both worlds, we can create code that is modular, reusable, and expressive. Here are some strategies for combining functional and object-oriented programming:
- Immutable objects: Immutable objects are thread-safe, easier to reason about, and align well with functional programming principles
- Extension methods: These allow us to enhance the functionality of types without modifying their original implementation, promoting a more functional and compositional approach
- Higher-order functions as instance methods: This approach helps us to encapsulate behavior and provide a fluent and expressive API for working with objects in a functional manner
- Dependency injection and composition: By injecting functional dependencies and composing objects based on their behavior, you can achieve...
