BA Chapter 13

I have hardly worked with a functional language before so I liked how this paper laid out both with examples of each. It made it easy to compare what I already know about the OO approach and see how it differs from the functional approach.

What types of problems lend themselves to an Object-Oriented Solution?
If you want to simulate objects and their relationships to one another, then the OO solution is the way to go.

What types of problems lend themselves to a Functional Solution?
A problem of the mathematical verity lends itself well to the functional solution. These problems will calculate a result and return it and they also don't care about the global state.
