Defining a function
Use (function ...) to declare a function.
Functions take inputs and maps them to outputs using a body of logic. This is specified thus:
(function (<input_type1> <input_name1>) .... (<input_typeN> <input_nameN>)
->
(<output_type1> <output_name1>) .... (<output_typeN> <output_nameN>)
:
<body>
)
A function that specifies no input and maps to a single output value is called a get-accessor
Example:
(function PI -> (Float64 valueOfPi):
(valueOfPi = 3.14159)
)
Currently a function definition that specifies no output still requires a mapping symbol (->), and the
programmer should be sure to use blank space to separate this from the body indicator symbol (:).
Example:
(function RingBell (Float64 hz)(Float64 decibels)-> :
(Sys.Native.Audio.Beep hz decibels)
)
