6. Definition of functional language skills

- A class of programming languages whose programs compute functions. In

practice, the class of functional languages are a subclass of the declarative
languages, and are based on lambda calculus or recursion equations.
Typically a program in a functional language consists of an unordered set of
equations that characterize functions and their values. Functions are specified
by use of recursion, other functions, and values. Values are characterized as
functions applied to other values. Ultimately the set of equations that is the
program must characterize all functions and values in terms of the primitive
functions and values provided by the language. The values characterized by
the equations include the values computed by executing the program.
