    Study Notes

    • Functional Programming covers the use of tuples and pattern matching.
    • Learning objectives include tuples, Algebraic Types in Haskell, and Prelude library usage.
    • A custom type alias, ShopItem, is defined as (String, Int).
    • ShopItem allows use cases for items in a shop to be represented using tuples for item names (String) and prices (Int, in cents).
    • Defining items (e.g., "Salt: 1kg", 139) allows for declaring their type as ShopItem.
    • A list of items, a basket, can be demonstrated using ShopItem types.
    • The concept of algebraic types (ATs) in Haskell and how they are defined allows for custom types with named constructors.
    • ATs model data better than primitive types.
    • ATs are defined using the keyword data.
    • Data types like data Bool = True | False are examples of enum types which are helpful for representing sets of values.
    • Data types such as data Person = Person {name :: String, age :: Int} are examples of product types that combine multiple values into a single type.
    • Haskell's prelude includes functions like map, filter, and foldr for data manipulation that operate on types such as lists.
    • map function applies a function to each element in a list.
    • filter function filters elements in a list based on a predicate, returning a list of matched elements.
    • foldr reduces a list to a single value.
    • putStrLn is an I/O function that utilizes monads for sequencing actions.
    • Function composition is possible using the $ operator to chain functions.
    • Pictures can be represented using a 2D grid of characters, with a Picture type defined as [[Char]].
    • printPicture function displays a picture.
    • flipH function horizontally flips a picture.
    • flipV function vertically flips a picture.
    • above function stacks pictures vertically.
    • beside function places pictures side-by-side.
    • Functions can be composed together to create more complex functionality.
    • The Maybe type is for handling potential failures (e.g., safe division).
    • The Maybe type can have a value (using Just) or no value (Nothing).
