Title Body

Below a Compose function. If f and g are unary functions which return values, then Compose(f,g) returns a function which when called on x performs the equivalent to f(g(x)) . static Func<X, Z> Compose<Z, Y, X>(Func<Y, Z> f,Func<X, Y> g) { return x => f(g(x)); } Here's a couple of simple Func values which can be composed: Func<int, bool> is_zero = x => { return x == 0; }; Func<int, int> mod_by_2 = x => { return x % 2; }; E.g. this works: Console.WriteLine(Compose(is_zero, mod_by_2)(4)); However, if I instead have these equivalent static methods: static bool IsZero(int n) { return n == 0; } static int ModBy2(int n) { return n % 2; } the same example doesn't work with those. I.e. this produces a compile time error: Console.WriteLine(Compose(IsZero, ModBy2)(4)); Explicitly passing types to Compose fixes the issue: Console.WriteLine(Compose<bool, int, int>(IsZero, ModBy2)(4)); Is there anyway to write Compose such that it works on the static methods without the explicit types? Is this a good approach to take to implementing Compose ? Can anyone make improvements to this?
