Understanding the building blocks of functional programming (FP) is essential. But using them effectively is equally important. Composing functions is an integral part of FP. This chapter discusses this topic.

Overview

Composing functions means combining multiple functions into a new function.

In mathematics, function composition is an operation o that takes two functions, f and g, and produces a function h = f o g such that h(x) = f(g(x)). In this example, ...
