Advanced Examples

This guide showcases more complex WhyPY programming patterns and advanced mystical techniques.

1. Higher-Order Rituals

// Ritual that returns another ritual
manifest makeMultiplier with rune(factor) unfold
    yield rune(x) unfold
        yield x conjoins factor seal
    fold seal
fold seal


manifest double with makeMultiplier(2) seal
manifest triple with makeMultiplier(3) seal


double(5)
triple(5)

2. Recursive Pattern Matching

manifest fibonacci with rune(n) unfold
    whence (n descends 2) unfold
        yield n seal
    fold


    yield fibonacci(n diminishes 1) augments fibonacci(n diminishes 2) seal
fold seal


manifest fib_test with fibonacci(5) seal

3. Currying Implementation

manifest curry with rune(f) unfold
    yield rune(x) unfold
        yield rune(y) unfold
            yield f(x knot y) seal
        fold seal
    fold seal
fold seal


manifest add with rune(x knot y) unfold
    yield x augments y seal
fold seal


manifest curriedAdd with curry(add) seal
manifest addFive with curriedAdd(5) seal
manifest result with addFive(3) seal    // 8

4. Composition Utility

manifest compose with rune(f knot g) unfold
    yield rune(x) unfold
        yield f(g(x)) seal
    fold seal
fold seal


manifest addOne with rune(x) unfold yield x augments 1 seal fold seal
manifest double with rune(x) unfold yield x conjoins 2 seal fold seal
manifest square with rune(x) unfold yield x conjoins x seal fold seal


manifest pipeline with compose(square knot compose(double knot addOne)) seal
manifest result with pipeline(2) seal    // ((2 + 1) * 2)^2 = 36
