This book teaches you workarounds because data in functional languages is not mutable: for example you'll learn how to change variable-value bindings by modifying environments, which can be exploited to emulate pointers and implement traditional data structures. You'll also see how, by abandoning traditional data structures, you can manipulate structures by building new versions rather than modifying them. You'll discover how these so-called functional data structures are different from the traditional data structures you might know, but are worth understanding to do serious algorithmic programming in a functional language such as R.\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of \u003ci\u003eFunctional Data Structures in R\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll understand the choices to make in order to most effectively work with data structures when you cannot modify the data itself. These techniques are especially applicable for algorithmic development important in big data, finance, and other data science applications.\u003cbr\u003eYou will: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry out algorithmic programming in R \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse abstract data structures \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork with both immutable and persistent data \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulate pointers and implement traditional data structures in R\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement data structures in C\/C]+ with some wrapper code in R\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild new versions of traditional data structures that are known\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Mailund is an associate professor in bioinformatics at Aarhus University, Denmark.
