JavaScript: Perform left-to-right function composition
JavaScript fundamental (ES6 Syntax): Exercise-165 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to perform left-to-right function composition.
- Use Array.prototype.reduce() with the spread operator (...) to perform left-to-right function composition.
- The first (leftmost) function can accept one or more arguments; the remaining functions must be unary.
Sample Solution:
JavaScript Code:
//#Source https://bit.ly/2neWfJ2
const pipeFunctions = (...fns) => fns.reduce((f, g) => (...args) => g(f(...args)));
const add5 = x => x + 5;
const multiply = (x, y) => x * y;
const multiplyAndAdd5 = pipeFunctions(multiply, add5);
console.log(multiplyAndAdd5(5, 2));
console.log(multiplyAndAdd5(16, 2));
Sample Output:
15 37
