Point-free Style programming is a programming paradigm in functional programming, in which a function definition does not include information regarding its arguments, function is defined through function composition.
square x = x*x
add10Tox x = 10 +x
process = square.add10Tox
process function is defined in point-free style (don’t include any arguments). By using point-free style, we can develop program in compact and cleaner way.
process 10 = square.add10Tox 10 = square(add10Tox 10) = square (10 + 10) = square (20) = 400
*Main> let square x = x*x
*Main> let add10Tox x = 10 +x
*Main>
*Main> let process = square.add10Tox
*Main>
*Main> process 10
400
*Main> process 20
900
