(programming)In functional programming, the most common
higher-order function over lists. Map applies its first
argument to each element of its second argument (a list) and
returns the list of results.
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] map f [] = [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
This can be generalised to types other than lists.
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b] map f [] = [] map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs
This can be generalised to types other than lists.

Map
(dreams)The interpretation depends on whether you are following a map to a particular destination and you feel good about it, or whether you are trying to follow a confusing chart. A confusing chart may indicate that you lack a clear sense of direction in your everyday life or are in the midst of changing long term plans. Following a good map in your dreams suggest that you are feeling confident in your current path and pursuits.
