Section 10.20 Pure Functions
A pure function does not produce side effects. It communicates with the calling program only through parameters (which it does not modify) and a return value. Here is the
doubleStuff
function from the previous section written as a pure function. To use the pure function version of double_stuff
to modify things
, you would assign the return value back to things
.Once again, codelens helps us to see the actual references and objects as they are passed and returned.
