Hi, I often cross this kind of code transformation (or even mathematical transformation) (python example, but applies to any language) I've go a function def f(x): return x I use it into another one. def g(x): return f(x)*f(x) print g(2) leads to 4 But I want to remove the functional dependency, and I change the function g into def g(f): return f*f print g( f(2) ) leads to 4 too How do you call this kind of transformation, locally turning a function into a scalar ?
