    Functions are mathematical objects that associate each element from one set (the domain) to a single element of another set (the codomain). Typical examples include functions from integers to integers or real numbers to real numbers. Historically, functions represented varying quantities and were studied through calculus. Today, functions are formally defined using set theory and have a wide range of applications in mathematics and science. A function associates each input x from its domain to a unique output y in its codomain, often written as y=f(x) where f is the function and x is the input or argument. The graph of a function represents all the input-output pairs (x, f(x)). Functions are fundamental objects studied across many fields of

    In mathematics, a function[note 1] is a binary relation between two sets that associates every element


    of the first set to exactly one element of the second set. Typical examples are functions
    from integers to integers, or from the real numbers to real numbers.
    Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity. For
    example, the position of a planet is a function of time. Historically, the concept was elaborated with
    the infinitesimal calculus at the end of the 17th century, and, until the 19th century, the functions that
    were considered were differentiable (that is, they had a high degree of regularity). The concept of a
    function was formalized at the end of the 19th century in terms of set theory, and this greatly
    enlarged the domains of application of the concept.
    A function is a process or a relation that associates each element x of a set X, the domain of the
    function, to a single element y of another set Y (possibly the same set), the codomain of the function.
    It is customarily denoted by letters such as ,  and .[1]
    If the function is called f, this relation is denoted by y = f (x) (which reads "f of x"), where the
    element x is the argument or input of the function, and y is the value of the function, the output, or
    the image of x by f.[2] The symbol that is used for representing the input is the variable of the function
    (e.g., f is a function of the variable x).[3]
    A function is uniquely represented by the set of all pairs (x, f (x)), called the graph of the function.[note 2]
    [4]
     When the domain and the codomain are sets of real numbers, each such pair may be thought of
    as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the plane. The set of these points is called the graph of the
    function; it is a popular means of illustrating the function.
    Functions are widely used in science, and in most fields of mathematics. It has been said that
    functions are "the central objects of investigation" in most fields of mathematics. [5]
