Catamorphism is a concept from functional programming and category theory, referring to a specific type of operation that allows for the evaluation or reduction of data structures, particularly recursive ones, into a simpler form. It is commonly associated with the processing of algebraic data types. In more straightforward terms, a catamorphism can be thought of as a generalization of the concept of folding or reducing a data structure.
