map
     
        1.  function.
     
        2.  in functional programming, the most common
        higher-order function over lists.  map applies its first
        argument to each element of its second argument a list and
        returns the list of results.
     
        	map :: a -> b -> a -> b
        	map f      = 
        	map f x:xs = f x : map f xs
     
        this can be generalised to types other than lists.
