kedjeoperator

A kedjeoperator is a conceptual programming construct, often found in functional programming paradigms, that represents a sequence of operations to be applied one after another. The name itself, derived from the Swedish word for "chain," aptly describes its function. Instead of performing a series of independent function calls, a kedjeoperator allows these functions to be linked together, with the output of one function becoming the input of the next. This creates a fluent and readable way to express complex data transformations.

The core idea behind a kedjeoperator is to avoid the creation of intermediate variables. For example, instead of writing x = func1(input); y = func2(x); z = func3(y), a kedjeoperator would enable something akin to func3(func2(func1(input))). This chaining mechanism promotes code clarity and can lead to more efficient execution by allowing the compiler or interpreter to optimize the entire sequence as a single unit. Many modern programming languages offer built-in support or libraries that facilitate kedjeoperator-like patterns, often referred to as method chaining, piping, or functional composition. These operators are particularly useful when dealing with data pipelines, asynchronous operations, or any scenario involving a series of sequential transformations.
