Iteratively Applying Functions

Functional iteration is an elegant way to represent repeated operations that is used a lot.

• FixedPoint — nest until a fixed point is reached returning the last expression
• FixedPointList — nest until a fixed point is reached return a list
• Fold — iterative application of a binary operation over elements of a list
• FoldList — list of the results of applying a binary operation iteratively over elements of a list
• Nest — give the result of nesting a function
• NestList — successively nest a function
• NestWhile — nest while a condition is satisfied returning the last expression
