How does jQuery relate to functional programming? [closed]

Question

Using jQuery helps in functional programming? I am using jQuery and want to do functional programming after some time. So, just need to know about it.

I went to google and found this http://importantshock.wordpress.com/2009/01/18/jquery-is-a-monad/ and this http://www.windley.com/archives/2009/01/jquery_monads_and_functional_programming.shtml

Answer 1

jQuery I believe has little to do with it. Its purpose is to help in webpage programming, not enhance functional programming.

Rather in Javascript itself it is possible to do functional programming, if you so choose. I advise to look up information about functional programming in Javascript, instead of adding jQuery into the mix.
