Hi Folks, How is function composition implemented in XPath 3.0? Example: Suppose I want to compose these two function: 1. increment: this function increases its argument by 1. 2. double: this function multiplies its argument by 2. In Haskell I can compose the two functions like so: f = double . increment And then I can apply the composed functions to an argument: f 2 The result is 6. How is f implemented in XPath 3.0? Here is my attempt, which is not correct: let $increment := function($x as xs:integer) {$x + 1}, $double := function($y as xs:integer) {$y * 2}, $compose := function( $a as function(item()*) as item()*, $b as function(item()*) as item()* ) as item()* {$b($a)}, $f := $compose($double, $increment) return $f(2) What is the correct way? /Roger
