//Chute can alternate function and method calls.//==== METHOD CALLS// Method calls native to the current data work as normal:
.map(double)
.filter(greater_than(4))
//==== FUNCTION CALLS//Chute provides a few ways to call functions.//== SUB CHAINS://".and" sends data through 1+ functions.//".and(f1,f2)" sends data to f1, then f1's return to f2.
.and(push(32),push(64))
//Nameless calls work the same way as ".and":
(push(80,128),push(256))
//these sub-chains use a reducer to mimic nested calls.//"(f1,f2)" == "f2(f1(x))"//strings can call methods that need no arguments:
('reverse')//for sequences like: ".and(f1,'method',f2)".//== METHOD STYLE GLOBAL FUNCTION CALLS://".name_of_a_global_function" calls a global function:
.wrap_in_array()//no arguments == "fn(data)"
.get_index(0)//arguments == "fn(arguments)(data)"//Under consideration: A placeholder system.//e.g. ".fn(arg_1, placeholder_for_data_here, arg_3)".//Chute can call global functions with unoccupied names.//Chute looks for methods before global functions.//It checks the current data's native methods.//It also check's Chute's built in methods://BUILT IN METHODS//Chute also has "log", "tap", and "if" methods.//".log" calls a built in method that takes 0+ arguments.
.log()//".log()" logs the current data, then resumes.
.log('Pre-tap data')// ".log" logs arguments before data.//'.tap' calls a built in method that takes one function.//'.tap(f1)' sends the data to f1 but ignores the result.
.tap(mutate)//.tap functions might mutate data directly.
.log('Post-tap data')
//'.if' calls a built in method that takes 2 arguments.
.if(//Argument 1//a boolean (some unrelated check e.g. "is_saturday()")//or a function that tests the data and return a boolean.
is_array,
//Argument 2:A function to send the data through//(If the condition equals the boolean true.)
