Explaining map & reduce with animated examples

Hi! I created some animations to explain what happens internally with map & reduce functions.
The code is open source. Any feedback is welcome !

It was a joke. Bad one, sorry!

Anyway, I like your animation and I am sure it is going to help to understand the functional approach. You might try to add more examples on reduce, like traversing the list of strings with counting the overall number of characters (to show that the reduced value doesn’t have to be the same type as an enumerable member), etc.

Great job!

I’d definitely say add Enum.flat_map if you are wanting to show the basics, it is one of the basic monad operators. :slight_smile:

A newer animation library that a lot of people recommend is theatrejs, I haven’t used it myself but maybe you can give it try
