Hello, Rachit Gupta ! Although Javascript is not widely known or used as a functional language, it has some functional elements. If you define a functional language as a language that supports the functions of the first class and lambda, then yes, JavaScript is a functional language. If you also take into account factors such as support for immutability, algebraic data types, pattern matching, partial applications, etc. Then, no, JavaScript is not a functional language. In addition, JavaScript has a flow of control and is conceptualized as an imperative language. From its design goal, it is clearly not considered a functional language. Why functional programming? Its pure function provides the assurance that it does not change things outside its domain. This reduces the complexity, there is no need to worry about how this is done, it will focus only on what it does. Simplicity of testing, because it does not depend on the state of the application, and the verification of the result will also be easy.
