Restrictions To Ordinary Functions
In turn, one can also derive ordinary functions of one variable from a binary function. Given any element x of X, there is a function f x, or f (x,·), from Y to Z, given by f x(y) := f (x,y). Similarly, given any element y of Y, there is a function f y, or f (·,y), from X to Z, given by f y(x) := f (x,y). (In computer science, this identification between a function from X × Y to Z and a function from X to ZY is called Currying.) NB: ZY is the set of all functions from Y to Z

Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or functions:
“As for an authentic villain, the real thing, the absolute, the artist, one rarely meets him even once in a lifetime. The ordinary bad hat is always in part a decent fellow.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
