what is Composition? It is actually not that difficult to understand, see @dan_abramov 's explanation.
Here you are asked to create a pipe()
function, which chains multiple functions together to create a new function.
Suppose we have some simple functions like this
const times = (y) => (x) => x * y
const plus = (y) => (x) => x + y
const subtract = (y) => (x) => x - y
const divide = (y) => (x) => x / y
Your pipe()
would be used to generate new functions
pipe([
times(2),
times(3)
])
// x * 2 * 3
pipe([
times(2),
plus(3),
times(4)
])
// (x * 2 + 3) * 4
pipe([
times(2),
subtract(3),
divide(4)
])
// (x * 2 - 3) / 4
notes
- to make things simple, functions passed to
pipe()
will all accept 1 argument
