Hi,
I'm playing a little bit with pointfree and function composition and
I would like to ask you if the following is theoretical correct and
how can I express it in haskell.
Imagine that I have the following functions
f :: a -> b -> c -> d
g :: d -> e
I want to compose these two functions such that:
(g . f) :: a -> b -> c -> e
in which a, b and c are arguments of the composition. Is this
theoretically correct?
I tried this in haskell and ghc gives me an error saying that the
function g should be of type b -> c -> d.
With this I assume that when I specify f :: a -> b -> c -> d I'm
really specifying f :: a -> (b -> c -> d) and such the composition
doesn't work, but is it possible to overcome this?
Kind regards,
Tiago
