# Fn --- ```text Fn_class `alias Enum[ .unknown; .incomplete; .native .task; process; .generator; .iterator; .closure; .bound; .regex ] Fn[Fn_class; RETURN_TYPE; Tuple[ARGS]; STATE; List] ``` # Function Classes ## Unknown Placeholder before evaluation ## Incomplete A function with an incomplete type, type checking occurs at invocation ## Native Native function wrapper ## Task A queue-able function in a process or iterator ## Process A list of tasks with state ## Generator A function for creating an iterator or closure ## Iterator A task creator with state, cannot take arguments, can be called until done ## Closure A task creator with state that can take arguments ## Bound A function with some arguments already set ## Regex Regular Expression # Returning ## \`return ## Transient Union Return Chaining # Iterating ## \`yield Yielding wraps the value in the transient union `Next` Return `Void` to stop iteration ```text fn : Fn[n] $ ( @ 1 < n {[x] `yield 2 * x; n +: 1 } ) it : fn `sync 10 // invoking @ it {[v] `log v } // 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 // same as above @ { # `sync it { .value {[v] `log v } .done { `break } } } ``` # Calling ## \`async Asynchronous call ```text task : `async fn value : `wait task ``` ## \`sync Synchronous call If the callee is a process, an inline wait with async is used ```text fn `sync args // can be turned into `wait fn `async args ```
