AssociativeFunction
|
|
A BinaryFunction is associative if bracketing has no effect on the value returned by the Function. More precisely, a Function ?FUNCTION is associative just in case (?FUNCTION ?INST1 (?FUNCTION ?INST2 ?INST3)) is equal to (?FUNCTION (?FUNCTION ?INST1 ?INST2) ?INST3), for all ?INST1, ?INST2, and ?INST3.

BinaryFunction |
The Class of Functions that require two arguments.
|
| Instances | AdditionFn | If ?NUMBER1 and ?NUMBER2 are Numbers, then (AdditionFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2) is the arithmetical sum of these numbers. |
| | MaxFn | (MaxFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2) is the largest of ?NUMBER1 and ?NUMBER2. In cases where ?NUMBER1 is equal to ?NUMBER2, MaxFn returns one of its arguments. |
| | MinFn | (MinFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2) is the smallest of ?NUMBER1 and ?NUMBER2. In cases where ?NUMBER1 is equal to ?NUMBER2, MinFn returns one of its arguments. |
| | MultiplicationFn | If ?NUMBER1 and ?NUMBER2 are Numbers, then (MultiplicationFn ?NUMBER1 ?NUMBER2) is the arithmetical product of these numbers. |
