<h3 id="org660b317">What is functional programming?</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org660b317">
<p>
It is a programming paradigm based on the evaluation of functions. This is opposed to <i>imperative programming</i>. While some languages are based strictly on functional programming (e.g. Haskell), R allows both imperative code (e.g. loops) and functional code (e.g. many base functions, the <code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">apply</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code> family, <code class="src src-R">purrr</code>).<br />

<h3 id="org4e9fec6">Iterations</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org4e9fec6">
<p>
Iterations are the repetition of a process (e.g. applying the same function to several variables, several datasets, or several files).<br />
</p>
<p>
The classic methods in R are:<br />
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>loops<br /></li>
<li><code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">apply</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code> functions family<br /></li>

<h3 id="orga06a9a1">The purrr package</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orga06a9a1">
<p>
One of the <code class="src src-R">tidyverse</code> core packages, <code class="src src-R">purrr</code> was written in 2015 by <a href="https://github.com/lionel-">Lionel Henry</a> (also the maintainer), <a href="http://hadley.nz/">Hadley Wickham</a>, and <a href="https://www.rstudio.com/">RStudio inc.</a> <br />

<h4 id="org2fcc2f9">Goal</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-org2fcc2f9">
<p>
<code class="src src-R">Purrr</code> is a set of tools allowing consistent functional programming in R in a <code class="src src-R">tidyverse</code> style (using <code class="src src-R">magrittr</code> pipes and following the same naming conventions found in other <code class="src src-R">tidyverse</code> packages).<br />
</p>
<p>
As Hadley Wickham says, in many ways, <code class="src src-R">purrr</code> is the equivalent of the <code class="src src-R">dplyr</code>, but while <code class="src src-R">dplyr</code> focuses on data frames, <code class="src src-R">purrr</code> works on vectors: it works on the elements of atomic vectors, lists, and data frames. Since R's most basic data structure is the vector, this makes <code class="src src-R">purrr</code> extremely powerful and flexible.<br />

How could we use <code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">map</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code> to calculate the means of all 3 measurement types?<br />

A data frame is a list! It is a list of vectors.<br />
</p>
<p>
Without running it in your computer, try to guess what the result of the following will be:<br />
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">length</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">(</span></span>banding<span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">)</span></span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Now, run it. What do you get? Why?<br />
</p>
</div>
<p>
So, back to our example, we do have a list: a list of vectors. That's what our banding data frame is! So no problem about applying <code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">map</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code> to it.<br />
</p>
<p>
However, the output of <code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">map</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code> is always a list. And a list as output is not really convenient here. There are other map functions which have vector or data frame outputs. To get a numeric vector as the output, we use <code class="src src-R"><span class="org-ess-function-call">map_dbl</span><span class="org-ess-paren"><span class="org-rainbow-delimiters-depth-1">()</span></span></code>:<br />
</p>
<p>
Similarly, you can calculate the variance, the sum, look for the largest value, or apply any other function to our data.<br />
