package operator

object FunctionalPipeline {
  class PipedObject[T] private[Functional] (value:T)
    {
      def |>[R] (f : T => R) = f(this.value)
    }
    implicit def toPiped[T] (value:T) = new PipedObject[T](value)
}

// inspired by a blog post in mkaz.com using this operator in a Sieve of Eratosthenes implementation:
(n: Int) => (2 to n) |> (r => r.foldLeft(r.toSet)((ps, x) => if (ps(x)) ps -- (x * x to n by x) else ps))
