Invoke

Invokes a function when the function is itself the result of invoking another function.

Syntax

invoke
   [function]
   ·  [argument1]
   ·  [argument2]
   …

function

The function invocation that returns the function to invoke.

argument1-N

The arguments to pass to the function.

Example

Suppose there is a function called AddToAll that takes a number and returns another function that adds this number to every element in a given list, defined this way:

function (number)
   function (items)
      Core.Map
         ·  items
         ·  function (item)
               +
                  ·  item
                  ·  number

If we wish to add 5 to every item in a list, we could do it using the invoke keyword:

invoke
   AddToAll
      ·  5
   ·  list
         ·  10
         ·  20
         ·  30

The code above would be equivalent to having a function called Add5ToAll defined this way:

AddToAll
   ·  5

And then calling this function like this:

Add5ToAll
   ·  list
         ·  10
         ·  20
         ·  30

Both will produce the list [15 25 35] as a result.
