Hylomorphism (computer science)
text:
In computer science, and in particular functional programming, a hylomorphism is a recursive function, corresponding to the composition of an anamorphism followed by a catamorphism. Fusion of these two recursive computations into a single recursive pattern then avoids building the intermediate data structure. This is an example of deforestation, a program optimization strategy. A related type of function is a metamorphism, which is a catamorphism followed by an anamorphism.
