Different programming styles for implementing the same word count program.

Word Count (Top 10)

This repo contains implementations of the same program but in different programming styles, including imperative, object-oriented programming, and functional programming. It is intended to be a teaching tool for people starting to learn about functional programming - to get concrete examples of how fp compares to other existing styles.

The way to read this repo is to read each .js in order - the files are numbered. The code itself has ample comments.
