title: Functions
|
|
type: concept
|
|
summary: |
|
|
Functions describe a process of turning *inputs* into *outputs*.
|
|
|
|
content: |
|
|
In a purely mathematical setting, functions typically have one input and one
|
|
output, but in functional programming, we can usually get around this either
|
|
by using [tuples][1] or by [currying][2].
