Questions about the use of built-in Mathematica functions, including pure functions.
This tag is for questions about the use and application of built-in Mathematica functions. This includes the use of pure functions (# & constructs, see Function).
Questions on how to construct new functions should use the function-construction tag. Questions about the argument specification, order and syntax of built-in functions should use the syntax tag. Questions about using pure functions and the functional programming style should use the tag functional-style. Special mathematical functions (like Gamma, BesselJ, etc.) should use the tag special-functions.
Do not use this tags to ask questions about (the properties of) mathematical functions. For such questions, use calculus-and-analysis, trigonometry or a similar applicable tag.
