# Partial Function
A clean way to define function as a set of smaller functions where each has defined start and end bounds.
## Partial Function
Achieves the following:
```
f(x) = {
x if 0 <= x < 5
x * 2 if 5 <= x <= 10
}
```
Expressed as:
```rust
let p = PartialFunction::new()
.with(0.0, 5.0, Box::new(|x| x ))
.with(5.0, 10.0, Box::new(|x| x * 2))
.build();
assert_eq!(p.eval(5.0), Some(10.0));
```
or even as:
```rust
let p = partfn! {
[0.0, 5.0]: x -> x,
[5.0, 10.0]: x -> x * 2,
};
assert_eq!(p.eval(5.0), Some(10.0));
```
## Lower Partial Function
Achieves the following:
```
f(x) = {
x if 0 <= x < 5
x * 2 if 5 <= x
}
```
Expressed as:
```rust
let f = LowerPartialFunction::new()
.with(0.0, Box::new(|x| x ))
.with(5.0, Box::new(|x| x * 2))
.build();
assert_eq!(f.eval(5.0), Some(10.0));
```
or even as:
```rust
let f = lowpartfn! {
[0.0]: x -> x,
[5.0]: x -> x * 2,
};
assert_eq!(f.eval(5.0), Some(10.0));
```
## Adding To Your Project
Add the following to your Cargo.toml:
```
partial_function = "0.5.0"
