Functions as Data Transformations: Recursion, Tail Calls, and Efficient Exponentiation & Fibonacci Implementations

The article treats functions as pure data‑to‑data mappings and demonstrates how common mathematical operations such as factorial, exponentiation, and Fibonacci can be expressed in TypeScript/JavaScript using recursive, tail‑recursive, iterative, and logarithmic‑time algorithms that illustrate functional transformation techniques and efficient algorithm design.
