Why imperative code is worse than functional code

The question, then, is what would make for a good concrete application domain for teaching these things?

Logic gates:

• students can be introduced to the idea of encoding whether something is true or false using a simple switch and light (or LED).

• then students can be introduced to those “tried and tested” basic combinations of switches: AND, OR, NOT.

• at the point when the complexity of wiring diagrams and physical components everywhere has students frustrated…introduce the basics of Boolean algebra!

But I am definitely not an educator: I will defer to their opinion on an approach like this.
