Map

1. <mathematics> function.

2. <programming> In functional programming, the most common higher-order function over lists.

Map applies its first argument to each element of its second argument (a list) and returns the list of results.

map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] map f []



= [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs

This can be generalised to types other than lists.
