Deterministic Programming vs Non-Deterministic Programming
Developers should learn deterministic programming when building systems that require high reliability, such as in aerospace, medical devices, or financial trading algorithms, where unpredictable behavior can lead to catastrophic failures or financial losses meets developers should learn non-deterministic programming when building systems that involve uncertainty, such as machine learning models, randomized algorithms, or simulations of real-world phenomena like weather or financial markets. Here's our take.
Deterministic Programming
Developers should learn deterministic programming when building systems that require high reliability, such as in aerospace, medical devices, or financial trading algorithms, where unpredictable behavior can lead to catastrophic failures or financial losses
Deterministic Programming
Nice PickDevelopers should learn deterministic programming when building systems that require high reliability, such as in aerospace, medical devices, or financial trading algorithms, where unpredictable behavior can lead to catastrophic failures or financial losses
Pros
- +It is also essential in debugging and testing, as deterministic code is easier to reproduce and fix issues
- +Related to: concurrent-programming, functional-programming
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Non-Deterministic Programming
Developers should learn non-deterministic programming when building systems that involve uncertainty, such as machine learning models, randomized algorithms, or simulations of real-world phenomena like weather or financial markets
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing search algorithms (e
- +Related to: concurrent-programming, probabilistic-algorithms
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Deterministic Programming if: You want it is also essential in debugging and testing, as deterministic code is easier to reproduce and fix issues and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Non-Deterministic Programming if: You prioritize it is essential for implementing search algorithms (e over what Deterministic Programming offers.
