 Function composition (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, function composition is an act or mechanism to combine simple functions to build more complicated ones.
Like the usual composition of functions in mathematics, the result of the composed function is passed to the composing one via a parameter.
Another type of functional composition known as "parallel composition" (Pierce and Turner pg 2) (Abadi and Lamport pg 96), enables a developer to compose two or more functions so that each runs in parallel on its own separate computer.
