nest :: Int -> (a -> a) -> a -> aSource
Compositional power of a function,
i.e. apply the function n
times to a value.
It is rather the same as iter
in Simon Thompson: "The Craft of Functional Programming", page 172
powerAssociative :: (a -> a -> a) -> a -> a -> Integer -> aSource
powerAssociative
is an auxiliary function that,
for an associative operation op
,
computes the same value as
powerAssociative op a0 a n = foldr op a0 (genericReplicate n a)
but applies op O(log n) times and works for large n.
