Summary

Functional Programming in C++ teaches developers the practical side of functional programming and the tools that C++ provides to develop software in the functional style. This in-depth guide is full of useful diagrams that help you understand FP concepts and begin to think functionally.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Technology

Well-written code is easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and less error prone. Mastering the functional style of programming can help you tackle the demands of modern apps and will lead to simpler expression of complex program logic, graceful error handling, and elegant concurrency. C++ supports FP with templates, lambdas, and other core language features, along with many parts of the STL.

About the Book

Functional Programming in C++ helps you unleash the functional side of your brain, as you gain a powerful new perspective on C++ coding. You'll discover dozens of examples, diagrams, and illustrations that break down the functional concepts you can apply in C++, including lazy evaluation, function objects and invokables, algebraic data types, and more. As you read, you'll match FP techniques with practical scenarios where they offer the most benefit.

What's inside

Writing safer code with no performance penalties

Excellent guide to the benefits of FP design in C++

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Learning to program in C++ typically comes in three stages for many programmers: beginning to learn the language procedurally in C fashion, moving on to intermediate programming using object-oriented thought processes, and finally, moving on to advanced techniques including template meta-programming, functional, and generic design. This book delves into topics in that last advanced stage, and does so superbly. Because it covers advanced topics, it's not a book I would recommend to C++ beginners. A good grasp of template fundamentals is a must. It will also be most useful to those with access to a C++17 compiler, as it occasionally takes advantage of the latest C++17 features. However, as current releases of gcc and VS now offer full support that shouldn't be a problem for most. It also makes heavy use of the STL and occasionally boost, so knowledge of those is useful as well.

This book covers in detail how to 're-think' a program to remove as much mutable state as possible. Instead of writing state machines, is shows how to use filter and transform operations to generate outputs from inputs without changing state. It shows how lambdas, auto type deduction and predicates can be used to perform function lifting and "currying" operations to write generic stateless programs (and covers the advantages that non-mutable programs have when executing concurrently.) It demonstrates the use of ranges for performing transforms on objects, and how to create immutable data structures. it describes how to implement algebraic data types (from FP) using std::variant and std::any and shows how doing so avoids the invalid states that are common when using enum-style and multi-variable approaches. The last chapters cover monads and functors in detail, template metaprogramming to do compile-time FP, using actors for concurrent programming, and finally the benefits of the FP style for testing and debugging. The breadth of C++ covered in this book is amazing; from type_traits to placement new to template template parameters, it seems just about every corner of the huge C++ ecosystem is brought into play at some point. I have 20 years of C++ development experience, yet came across syntax and techniques I haven't seen before in almost every chapter. I'm not a newbie to FP, having written in LISP decades ago, but never really considered how that paradigm would work in a C++ context. This book changed my perspective. Highly recommended.

Nice coverage of how to take a functional approach in C++

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book takes a different approach keeping with the OO paradigm but injects functional thinking into that framework to develop solutions to some novel problems. The chapters on (i) functional data structures (ii) pattern matching and last but not least (iii) functional design for concurrent systems were interesting reads. Finally there is a chapter on testing that has some nice details too. I give it 5 stars because of its readability and 'pictures' that help me understand what the author is trying to explain. Thank you - money well spent imho.

very well produced

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021

The writing is clearly ordered. Examples and deeper discussions are well formatted. The reading experience is well put with this book.

The material is very easy to understand (for those with some C++ background and motivation to learn). I haven't finished the book yet, but after 4 chapters I felt it was good enough to leave a review!

Superb. Surprisingly Good.

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'll put the only (potential) negative up front: the author assumes very solid C++ knowledge, including C++ 17. If you're new to C++, I'd definitely recommend getting some better experience with the language before tackling this book.

Other than that, this was simply superb, from top to bottom. It built functional programming concepts up slowly and pragmatically, using C++ language features (usually templates) to clearly show the underlying concepts. In the end this was the only Monad explanation I've seen that was both clear and understandable, and also useful.

Kindle Version: Poorly Rendered and Incomplete

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

These comments concern the Kindle rendition of this book. The Kindle version contains many strange typographical artifacts, such as randomly placed Pi characters, scattered through the text. Comparing the Kindle version to the printed version revealed that these artifacts took the place of annotations in the print version. That means that the Kindle version not only looks wierd, it is also incomplete.

The Title Says It All

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

More cookbook than theory book, but that's a good thing if you've learnt some FP terms elsewhere (in my case from Haskell). There are plenty of nicely formatted and annotated code examples (in monochrome), as well as diagrams to cement understanding of what's really happening.

The written style manages to be both mature and engaging, and since the second half of the book uses ranges syntax prolifically, this book is likely to become even more relevant to C++20 and beyond.

Definitely a 5*.

Functional Programming in C++: A well-written story of C++

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is one of the better books about C++. It's well written, by which I mean that the use of English is excellent, so it's easy to read. I commend the author, because English is not his first language. His editorial team clearly made substantial contributions to the book.
The book leads you through many advanced C++ idioms to find its conclusion about functional programming. It introduces novel uses of the language and explains why those idioms exist. I learned as much about function objects, lambdas, std::variant and template meta-programming as I did about functional programming.
So good, I'm in my second reading already!

Outstanding book

Reviewed in Germany on August 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you read the books form Scott Myers, Andrei Alexandrescu, Herb Sutter and you want more but with a focus on functional programming, here is your book. The author has several great talks on youtube many of them touching functional programming. Since C++ is getting more and more functional with every release this book is highly recommended for every professional programmer.
