# js-fp-algorithms [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/ryanmcdermott/js-fp-algorithms.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ryanmcdermott/js-fp-algorithms)

A collection of algorithms written in JavaScript in a functional programming

style.

## The Philosophy

You might think that a "functional programming style" means monads, cofunctors,

and applicative dinguses. Actually, it just means no loops, no mutations, and

no side effects,

### No loops

Anything expressed in `for` and `while` can also be expressed in recursion.

### No mutations

No variables are mutated because there are no variables, only constants.

### No side effects

Functions will always produce the same output given the same input. No sneaky

global variables, calling the network, or running quicksort and then deleting

all your songs on Spotify.

## Installation

`npm install`

## Testing

`npm t`
