Details

compose creates a functional composition of the listed functions. Functional composition of functions f and g is defined as f(g(.)). Order matters the right most function listed will be the innermost function in the composition, same with the operator version. To remember the order lists will be the order read out, ie. compose(f,g) = f(g(x))

When using the operator version it is good to remember that parentheses are recommended see the examples

Examples

compose(any, is.na)(c(NA,1:3))
(sum%.%is.na)(c(1,NA))  #correct
sum%.%is.an(NA)  #incorrect
