@defmodule[dds/functions]
This modules provides some definitions for working with functions: tabulating,
(re)constructing from tables, generating random functions, etc.
Some definitions of particular kinds of functions are also provided (threshold
Boolean functions, etc.).

Like @racket[tabulate], but @racket[funcs] is a list of functions taking the
same arguments over the same domains.
@examples[#:eval functions-evaluator
(tabulate* (list (λ (x y) (and x y))
(λ (x y) (or x y)))
'((#f #t) (#f #t)))
]}
@defproc[(tabulate*/strict [funcs (Listof (-> a ... b))]
[doms (List (Listof a) ... a)])
(Listof (List (List a ...) (Listof b)))]{
Like @racket[tabulate*], but the types of the arguments of the functions
explicitly appear in the return type.
As of 2022-03-06, I am not able to write the type of a list first containing
elements of types @racket[a ...], followed by a list of elements of type
@racket[b]. This is why this function returns a list of lists, each containing
first a list of inputs, and then the list of outputs of @racket[funcs].
@examples[#:eval functions-evaluator
(tabulate*/strict (list (λ (x y) (and x y))
(λ (x y) (or x y)))
'((#f #t) (#f #t)))
]
The result of @racket[tabulate*] can be obtained by applying
@racket[append-lists]:
@examples[#:eval functions-evaluator
(require (only-in "utils.rkt" append-lists))
(append-lists (tabulate*/strict (list (λ (x y) (and x y))
(λ (x y) (or x y)))
'((#f #t) (#f #t))))
]}
@defproc[(tabulate*/untyped [funcs (listof procedure?)]
[doms (listof list?)])
(listof list?)]{
A version of @racket[tabulate*] without type checking.
As of 2022-03-06, Typed Racket cannot generate contracts for polymorphic
variable-arity functions. This means that @racket[tabulate*] cannot be used
directly in untyped code and should be replaced by @racket[tabulate*/untyped],
which is simply an @racket[unsafe-provide] of @racket[tabulate*].
@examples[#:eval functions-evaluator
(tabulate*/untyped (list (λ (x y) (and x y))
(λ (x y) (or x y)))
'((#f #t) (#f #t)))
]
The contracts in the documentation entry are provided for explanatory purposes
and are not actually enforced. Some contracts on the functions
@racket[tabulate*] uses internally are still checked. For example, trying to
tabulate a function of wrong arity will still raise an error.
@examples[#:eval functions-evaluator
(module untyped-test racket/base
(require "functions.rkt")
(tabulate*/untyped (list (λ (x y z) (and x y z)))
'((#f #t) (#f #t))))
(eval:error (require 'untyped-test))
