Composition operator

composition operator is “.”
type: (b → c) → (a → b) → a → c
takes two functions as parameter and combines the functions
- first function is applied to the result of the second function

example:

import qualified Data.Char as Ch (ord)
 
main :: IO ()
main = 
    do
        print $ f3 'a'
        print $ f4 'a'
 
f1 :: Char -> Integer
f1 ch = toInteger $ Ch.ord(ch)
 
f2 :: Integer -> Double
f2 n = fromIntegral n :: Double
 
f3 :: Char -> Double
f3 = f2 . f1
 
f4 :: Char -> Double
f4 ch = f2 (f1 ch)

executes with output:
```
97.0
97.0
```
