Create a function, <span style="font-family:serif">compose</span>, whose two arguments <span style="font-family:serif">''f''</span> and <span style="font-family:serif">''g''</span>, are both functions with one argument. The result of <span style="font-family:serif">compose</span> is to be a function of one argument, (lets call the argument <span style="font-family:serif">''x''</span>), which works like applying function <span style="font-family:serif">''f''</span> to the result of applying function <span style="font-family:serif">''g''</span> to <span style="font-family:serif">''x''</span>, i.e,
: <span style="font-family:serif">compose(''f'', ''g'') (''x'') = ''f''(''g''(''x''))</span>

Hint: In some languages, implementing <span style="font-family:serif">compose</span> correctly requires creating a [[wp:Closure (computer science)|closure]].
