Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 06 - Functional Programming versus Structural Programming - a Q

The video tutorial discusses the process of summing odd numbers using programming techniques. It contrasts functional programming with procedural programming, highlighting the differences in handling variable mutations and focusing on what to do rather than how to do it. The tutorial also covers code refactoring for improved readability and explains the concept of mutations in code. The aim is to provide a clear understanding of functional programming principles and their advantages over traditional procedural methods.
