| | Prelude State monads, introduced to me during the data61 functional programming course was one of my most memorable encounter with a monad. This was mainly because things only started to clicked and made a tiny bit of sense after a couple of weeks of frustration. This article is my attempt to explain the underlying mechanics of the State Monad to try and relief the frustration of whomever who was in my position.

| | Clojure is a dynamically, strongly typed programming language. It's a dialect of _Lisp_ running on the Java Virtual Machine. Lisp is 6 decades old and has a really weird syntax. That weird syntax is called _Polish prefix notation_. Basically, in every other language you've used math operators like plus or minus are infix. It means they are placed between operands. For example, `1 + 2`. In Clojure, you always put the operator (or any other function for that matter) in front. So simple addition becomes... `+ 1 2`.
