Node:Inverse, Previous:Reduce, Up:Operators
The inverse of a function f is written ~f
.
The inverse depends on what kind of a function f is.
Generally, for a postfix or infix function f:
if x ~f a ...
is y, then y f a ...
is x.
If f is a prefix function (or is applied as one),
then if ~f x a ...
is y, then f y a ...
is x.
If the operator ~
is applied infix, as in x~f
,
the result is the same as x(~f)
, except that
any application rule for x is ignored.
