What (who) is function application - definition


function application         
ACT OF APPLYING A FUNCTION TO AN ARGUMENT FROM ITS DOMAIN SO AS TO OBTAIN THE CORRESPONDING VALUE FROM ITS RANGE.
A function applied to (some of) its arguments. If it is not applied to all its argument then it is a "{partial application}". Application is usually written in the form f(x) but some languages such as command-line interpreters and many functional languages use juxtaposition: f x. Lisp places the parentheses around the whole application: (f x).

ACT OF APPLYING A FUNCTION TO AN ARGUMENT FROM ITS DOMAIN SO AS TO OBTAIN THE CORRESPONDING VALUE FROM ITS RANGE.
In mathematics, function application is the act of applying a function to an argument from its domain so as to obtain the corresponding value from its range. In this sense, function application can be thought of as the opposite of function abstraction.
Partial application         
IN FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Papply; Partial apply; Partial function application
In computer science, partial application (or partial function application) refers to the process of fixing a number of arguments to a function, producing another function of smaller arity. Given a function f \colon (X \times Y \times Z) \to N , we might fix (or 'bind') the first argument, producing a function of type \text{partial}(f) \colon (Y \times Z) \to N .
