User defined higher order functions in haskell?

Let's use the function map as a simple example map takes a function and a list and applies the function to all elements of the list. If you write the signature of map it runs like this.

Let's use the function map as a simple example. Map takes a function and a list and applies the function to all elements of the list. If you write the signature of map, it runs like this: First, you need a function.

Any function is OK, so the type of the first argument is a -> b. Then, you need a list of input values. Since the type of the list's elements must fit to the function's input, the type of the list is a.

For the output: What is the result of a function a -> be when applied to a value of type a? Right, it is b. So the result type is b.

Assembled together, the type of our function runs like this: map :: (a -> b) -> a -> be And is defined like this: map f = map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs Does this help you to understand the concept of high order functions?

Don't concern yourself with types just yet. Ask the compiler, it will tell you the types. With some practice you will be able to see the types almost as well as the compiler grin.

Here we define two very simple higher-order functions, twice and compose. The first one takes a function and an argument, and applies one to the other, twice. The second one takes two functions and an argument and applies both functions to it in chain.

$ ghci GHCi, version 6.12.1: haskell.org/ghc/ :? For help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.

Loading package base ... linking ... done. Prelude> let twice f x = f (f x) Prelude> :t twice twice :: (t -> t) -> t -> t Prelude> let compose f g x = f (g x) Prelude> :t compose compose :: (t1 -> t2) -> (t -> t1) -> t -> t2 Prelude> You can see that twice gets two arguments, of type (t->t) an of type t, and returns a resulkt of type t. T is any type (but the same in all 4 occurrences).

You can try to use these higher-order functions on some regular functions. Prelude> let times3 x = x * 3 Prelude> let times5 x = x * 5 Prelude> twice times3 2 18 Prelude> twice times5 2 50 Prelude> compose times3 times5 2 30 Prelude> Ans some funky advanced stuff: Prelude> (twice twice) times3 2 162 Prelude> twice (twice times3) 2 162 Prelude> Do you understand what's going on in the last two examples?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
