Point-Free Style (Computer Science)

Point-free style in programming is a way of writing functions where the focus is on how data flows through transformations, rather than specifying the data's specific values or inputs. Instead of naming and applying each step to particular inputs, you compose functions together, emphasizing the process of data transformation itself. It's like describing a machine by how its parts work together, not by individual items it receives. This style often results in more concise, elegant code that highlights the structure of operations rather than explicit input-output details.
