summary::represent a n-ary operation on a function
categories::Core
related::Classes/BinaryOpFunction, Classes/UnaryOpFunction, Classes/NAryOpStream, Classes/Pnaryop, Overviews/Operators
description::
Operating on functions instead of numbers, what results is not a result of the calculation, but a structure that represents that calculation.
examples::
code::
// example
a = 0.8.linexp(0, 1, 40, 20000); // map (0..1) to exponentially to human frequency hearing range
a = { b }.linexp(0, 1, 40, 20000); // result is a NAryOpFunction
b = 0.1;
a.value; // now it is evaluated, and the result is calculated
b = 0.5;
a.value; // again, with a different value.
::
code::
// sound example
(
var a = { 1.0.rand };
var b = a.linexp(0, 1, 40, 20000);
fork {
15.do {
(instrument: \default, freq: b.value).play;
0.3.wait;
}
