pipe-operator

Pipe Operator Example

The pipe operator (|>) allows you to chain function calls in a readable left-to-right manner.

Syntax

value |> function1 |> function2 |> function3

This is equivalent to:

function3(function2(function1(value)))

Benefits

• Readability: Code flows naturally from left to right
• Maintainability: Easy to add/remove transformation steps
• Clarity: Each step in the transformation is clearly visible

Running the Example

oxide main.ox

Output

=== Traditional Function Calls ===
half(addTen(double(5))) = 12.5

=== Using Pipe Operator |> ===
5 |> double |> addTen |> half = 12.5

=== Complex Pipeline ===
3 |> square |> double |> addTen = 28
Step by step: 3 -> 9 -> 18 -> 28
