The original vector is left untouched. As I began to write more and more idiomatic Scala and less Java-masquerading-as-Scala, I became more and more enamored of the power, beauty and robustness of the functional programming approach. The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. Games (and graphics, and physics, and AI) and basically all about state changes. In our case, an operation would be a function. A pure functional approach is not a good fit for games. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming. Clojure is an absolutely interesting programming language which differs from object-oriented programming languages. Rather, new values are created and the variables 'b' and 'c' are referred to those new values. Despite the fact that Python is not a pure-functional programming language, it's multi-paradigm and it gives you enough freedom to take credits from functional programming approach. In my opinion, the correct way of representing an operation in a programming language is a function. Use of immutables entails this rather functional approach to programming.
