Subject: Compose function for multiple parameters ?
Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 09:24:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080531092406.093bd147@free.fr> (raw)
Hi !
Defining a compose operator :
let ( <<- ) f g x = f (g x)
allows to abstract from parameter and to handle functions nicely :
f <<- g
My question is :
What would be the correct way with more parameters ?
I do not see anything satisfactory neither multiplying the operators :
let ( <<<- ) f g x y = f (g x y);;
(That would quickly lead to an unreadable code.)
nor keeping with a one-parameter 'compose' to synthesize what we need :
(( <<- ) f) <<- g
Imho, the former is even the worst.
It would be cooler to write the later on the basis of :
(( <<- ) (( <<- ) f)) g
with some operator that could be used as an unary op to lighten the writing.
Please what would be possible to do ?
Fabrice
