---------------------------------------------------------------------- |> (Lib) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- op |> : 'a -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b SYNOPSIS Infix operator for writing function application. LIBRARY Lib DESCRIBE The expression {x |> f} is equal to {f x}. This way of writing application has two advantages, both apparent when multiple functions are being applied. Without using {|>}, one might write {f (g (h x))}. With it, one writes {x |> h |> g |> f}. The latter form needs fewer parentheses, and also makes the order in which functions will operate correspond to a left-to-right reading. FAILURE Never fails. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
