Abstract
Mapping and visiting represent different programming styles for traversals of collections
of data. Mapping is rooted in the functional programming paradigm, and visiting
is rooted in the object-oriented programming paradigm. This paper explores the similarities
and differences between mapping and visiting, seen across the traditions in the
two different programming paradigms. The paper is concluded with recommendations
for mapping and visiting in programming languages that support both the functional
and the object-oriented paradigms.
