{{task|Programming language concepts}}
According to [[wp:First-class function]]s, a language has first class functions if:
 
A language has [[wp:First-class function|first-class functions]] if it can do each of the following without recursively invoking a compiler or interpreter or otherwise [[metaprogramming]]:
* New functions can be created from others at run time
* Functions can be stored in other collection types of the language
* Functions can be used as arguments to other functions
* Functions can be returned as the value of functions.
 
* Create new functions from preexisting functions at run-time
The above to be accomplished without invoking a compiler or eval/exec or [[wp:Metaprogramming|metaprogramming]] from the main program.
* Store functions in collections
* Use functions as arguments to other functions
* Use functions as return values of other functions
 
Write a program to create an ordered collection of a mixture of built-in and user defined functions of a real number, together with another ordered collection of their inverses. Try and use sin, asin, cos, acos, and cube, cube-root as the functions. Create a function ''compose'', that given two functions as arguments returns a new function that applies first the second argument to compose to its argument, then the first argument to compose to the result, i.e:
composed_function = compose(f,g)
where composed_function(x) == compose(f,g)(x) == f(g(x))
 
<br>
Applying the compose of a function and its inverse from the two ordered collections of functions in pairs, show that the result in each case is the original value.
;Task:
Write a program to create an ordered collection ''A'' of functions of a real number. At least one function should be built-in and at least one should be user-defined; try using the sine, cosine, and cubing functions. Fill another collection ''B'' with the inverse of each function in ''A''. Implement function composition as in [[Functional Composition]]. Finally, demonstrate that the result of applying the composition of each function in ''A'' and its inverse in ''B'' to a value, is the original value. <small>(Within the limits of computational accuracy)</small>.
 
(A solution need not actually call the collections "A" and "B". These names are only used in the preceding paragraph for clarity.)
The Python example conforms to the above.

Even if the example below solves the task, there are some limitations to how dynamically you can create, store and use functions in Ada, so it is debatable if Ada really has first class functions.

Put ("Example ");
Put (I, Width => 0);

else

Put (" is off by");
Put (abs (Result - Test_Value));

It is bad style (but an explicit requirement in the task description) to put the functions and their inverses in separate arrays rather than keeping each pair in a record and then having an array of that record type.

Putting math libraries aside for the moment (we can always shell out to bash functions like '''bc'''), a deeper issue is that the architectural position of functions in the AppleScript type system is simply a little too incoherent and second class to facilitate really frictionless work with first-class functions. (This is clearly not what AppleScript was originally designed for).
 
Incoherent, in the sense that built-in functions and operators do not have the same place in the type system as user functions. The former are described as 'commands' in parser errors, and have to be wrapped in user handlers if they are to be used interchangeably with other functions.
 
Second class, in the sense that user functions (or 'handlers' in the terminology of Apple's documentation), are properties of scripts. The scripts are autonomous first class objects, but the handlers are not. Functions which accept other functions as arguments will internally need to use an '''mReturn''' or '''mInject''' function which 'lifts' handlers into script object types. Functions which return functions will similarly have to return them embedded in such script objects.
 
Once we have a function like mReturn, however, we can readily write higher order functions like '''map''', '''zipWith''' and '''mCompose''' below.

BQN has full support for first class functions in the context of this wiki page. A more detailed article on BQN's implementation of functional programming is discussed [https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/doc/functional.html here].
 
<code>∘</code> (Atop) is used here to compose the two lists of functions given. Higher order functions are then used to apply the functions on a value. There is a slight change in value due to floating point inaccuracy.
 
BQN has provisions to invert builtin functions using <code>⁼</code> (Undo), and that can also be used for this demonstration, if we remove the block function (<code>funsB ← {𝕏⁼}¨ funsA</code>).

=={{header|Bracmat}}==
Bracmat has no built-in functions of real values. To say the truth, Bracmat has no real values. The only pair of currently defined built-in functions for which inverse functions exist are <code>d2x</code> and <code>x2d</code> for decimal to hexadecimal conversion and vice versa. These functions also happen to be each other's inverse. Because these two functions only take non-negative integer arguments, the example uses the argument <code>3210</code> for each pair of functions.
 
The lists <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> contain a mix of function names and function definitions, which illustrates that they always can take each other's role, except when a function definition is assigned to a function name, as for example in the first and second lines.
 
The <code>compose</code> function uses macro substitution.

Since one can't create new functions dynamically within a C program, C doesn't have first class functions. But you can pass references to functions as parameters and return values and you can have a list of function references, so I guess you can say C has second class functions.

===Explicit version===
 
J has some subtleties which are not addressed in this specification (J functions have grammatical character and their [[wp:Gerund|gerundial form]] may be placed in data structures where the spec sort of implies that there be no such distinction - for those uncomfortable with this terminology it is best to think of these as type distinctions - the type which appears in data structures and the type which may be applied are distinct though each may be directly derived from the other).
 
However, here are the basics which were requested:
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> sin=: 1&o.
cos=: 2&o.
cube=: ^&3
square=: *:
unqo=: `:6
unqcol=: `:0
quot=: 1 :'{.u`'''''
A=: sin`cos`cube`square
B=: monad def'y unqo inv quot'"0 A
BA=. A dyad def'x unqo@(y unqo) quot'"0 B</syntaxhighlight>

BA unqcol 0.5

===Tacit (unorthodox) version===
In J only adverbs and conjunctions (functionals) can produce verbs (functions)... Unless they are forced to cloak as verbs (functions). (Note that this takes advantage of a bug/feature of the interpreter ; see [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Closures/Value_capture#Tacit_.28unorthodox.29_version unorthodox tacit] .) The resulting functions (which correspond to functionals) can take and produce functions:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> train =. (<'`:')(0:`)(,^:)&6 NB. Producing the function train corresponding to the functional `:6
inverse=. (<'^:')(0:`)(,^:)&_1 NB. Producing the function inverse corresponding to the functional ^:_1
compose=. (<'@:')(0:`)(,^:) NB. Producing the function compose corresponding to the functional @:
an =. <@:((,'0') ; ]) NB. Producing the atomic representation of a noun
of =. train@:([ ; an) NB. Evaluating a function for an argument
box =. < @: train"0 NB. Producing a boxed list of the trains of the components
]A =. box (1&o.)`(2&o.)`(^&3) NB. Producing a boxed list containing the Sin, Cos and Cubic functions
┌────┬────┬───┐

'''Also works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq'''
 
'''Also works with fq, a Go implementation of a large subset of jq'''
 
jq does not support functions as "first class objects" in the sense specified in the task description
but it does give near-first-class status to functions and functional expressions, which can
for example, be passed as arguments to functions. In fact, it is quite straightforward, though possibly misleading,
to transcribe the [[#Wren|Wren]] entry to jq, as follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang=jq>
# Apply g first
def compose(f; g): g | f;
 
def A: [sin, cos, .*.*.];
 
def B: [asin, acos, pow(.; 1/3) ];
 
0.5
| range(0;3) as $i
| compose( A[$i]; B[$i] )
</syntaxhighlight>
However this transcription is inefficient because at each iteration (i.e. for each $i), all three components of A and of B are computed.
To avoid this, one would have to ignore A and B, and instead write:
<pre>
0.5
| compose(sin; asin), compose(cos; acos), compose(pow(.;3); pow(.; 1/3))
</pre>
{{output}}

# The lists are mapped in corresponding members through an anonymous function that composes the resulting pairs of functions and applies them to the value 0.5.

Note that when defining a sequence <code>@[a, b, c]</code>, “a” defines the type of the elements. So, if there is an ambiguity, we need to precise the type.
 
For instance <code>@[math.sin, cos]</code> wouldn’t compile as there exists two “sin” functions, one for “float32” and one for “float64”.
 
So, we have to write either <code>@[(proc(x: float64): float64]) math.sin, cos]</code> to avoid the ambiguity or make sure there is no ambiguity as regards the first element.
 
Here, in first sequence, we put in first position our function “sin” defined only for “float64” and in second position the standard one “math.cos”. And in second sequence, we used the type <code>MF64 = proc(x: float64): float64</code> to suppress the ambiguity.

There is not really any direct support for this sort of thing in Phix, but it is all pretty trivial to manage explicitly.<br>
In the following, as it stands, constant m cannot be used the same way as a routine_id, and a standard routine_id cannot be passed to the first argument of call_composite, but tagging ctable entries so that you know exactly what to do with them does not sound difficult to me.

However, as it is implemented in Python, we can drop down into Python for that functionality, and represent floating point numbers as strings in Quackery. This code implements that, with a light sprinkle of syntactic sugar for the compiler so we can use <code>f 0.5</code> rather than <code>$ "0.5"</code> to represent the floating point number <code>0.5</code>

This solution uses a feature of Nightly Rust that allows us to return a closure from a function without using the extra indirection of a pointer. Stable Rust can also accomplish this challenge -- the only difference being that compose would return a <code>Box<Fn(T) -> V></code> which would result in an extra heap allocation.

See the comments at [[Function as an Argument#TI-89 BASIC]] for more information on first-class functions or the lack thereof in TI-89 BASIC. In particular, it is not possible to do proper function composition, because functions cannot be passed as values nor be closures.
 
Therefore, this example does everything but the composition.

In more detail,
* <code>(+)*p\functions inverses</code> evaluates to <code>(+)*p(inverses,functions)</code> by definition of the reverse binary to unary combinator (<code>\</code>)
* This expression evaluates to <code>(+)*p(<asin,acos,math..cbrt>,<sin,cos,times^/~& sqr>)</code> by substitution.
* The zipping is indicated by the <code>p</code> suffix on the map operator, (<code>*</code>) so that <code>(+)*p</code> evaluates to <code>(+)* <(asin,sin),(acos,cos),(cbrt,times^/~& sqr)></code>.
* The composition (<code>(+)</code>) operator is then mapped over the resulting list of pairs of functions, to obtain the list of functions <code><asin+sin,acos+cos,cbrt+ times^/~& sqr></code>.
* <code>gang<aisn+sin,acos+cos,cbrt+ times^/~& sqr></code> expresses a function returning a list in terms of a list of functions.

In Wren, there is a distinction between functions and methods. Essentially, the former are independent objects which can do all the things required of 'first class functions' and the latter are subroutines which are tied to a particular class.

In zkl, methods bind their instance so something like x.sin is the sine method bound to x (whatever real number x is). eg var a=(30.0).toRad().sin; is a method and a() will always return 0.5 (ie basically a const in this case). Which means you can't just use the word "sin", it has to be used in conjunction with an instance.

fcomp is the function composition function, fcomp(b,a) returns the function (x)-->b(a(x)). List.run(True,x) is inverse of List.apply/map, it returns a list of list[i](x). The True is to return the result, False is just do it for the side effects.
