`every()` returns true if every item in a collection verify a predicate (this is the `foldl1 (||)` part of the example).
`map()` applies a function to every item in a collection and returns a new collection.
What I confuses me about the Haskell example is `$x`. Where does it come from? why isn't it referenced anywhere afterwards? Is the `$` an operator of some sort that names a variable in the later block? Why is it `tests` and not `$tests` then?
- tome 5y ago`($x)` could equivalently have been written `\f -> f x`, which would have been a bit clearer. In general in Haskell if you have an infix operator `OP` then `(OP x)` means the same thing as `\y -> y OP x`. (Additionally in this case you need to know that `$` is defined by `f $ x = f x`.)
- linkdd 5y agoThank you for your clarification. And I just re-read my example in JS and I've made a TERRIBLE mistake ^^ `.every()` would be `foldl1 (&&)`, I would need `.some()` instead to have the correct behavior.
