{{ page.description }}
This article is part of a series of articles about software design isomorphisms.
Most programming languages enable you to pass arguments to operations. In C# and Java, you declare methods with a list of arguments:
public Foo Bar(Baz baz, Qux qux)
Here, baz
and qux
are arguments to the Bar
method. Together, the arguments for a method is called an argument list. To be clear, this isn't universally adopted terminology, but is what I'll be using in this article. Sometimes, people (including me) say parameter instead of argument, and I'm not aware of any formal specification to differentiate the two.
While you can pass arguments as a flat list, you can also model them as parameter objects or tuples. These representations are equivalent, because lossless translations between them exist. We say that they are isomorphic.
In theory, you can declare a method that takes thousands of arguments. In practice, you should constrain your design to as few arguments as possible. As Refactoring demonstrates, one way to do that is to Introduce Parameter Object. That, already, teaches us that there's a mapping from a flat argument list to a Parameter Object. Is there an inverse mapping? Do other representations exist?
There's at least three alternative representations of a group of arguments:
Perhaps the best-known mapping from an argument list is the Introduce Parameter Object refactoring described in Refactoring.
Since the refactoring is described in detail in the book, I don't want to repeat it all here, but in short, assume that you have a method like this:
public Bar Baz(Qux qux, Corge corge)
In this case, the method only has two arguments, so the refactoring may not be necessary, but that's not the point. The point is that it's possible to refactor the code to this:
public Bar Baz(BazParameter arg)
where BazParameter
looks like this:
public class BazParameter { public Qux Qux { get; set; } public Corge Corge { get; set; } }
In Refactoring, the recipe states that you should make the class immutable, and while that's a good idea (I recommend it!), it's technically not necessary in order to perform the translation, so I omitted it here in order to make the code simpler.
You're probably able to figure out how to translate back again. We could call this refactoring Dissolve Parameter Object:
As an example, consider the Roster example from a previous article. The Combine
method on the Roster
class is implemented like this:
public Roster Combine(Roster other) { return new Roster( this.Girls + other.Girls, this.Boys + other.Boys, this.Exemptions.Concat(other.Exemptions).ToArray()); }
This method takes an object as a single argument. You can think of this Roster
object as a Parameter Object.
If you like, you can add a method overload that dissolves the Roster
object to its constituent values:
public Roster Combine( int otherGirls, int otherBoys, params string[] otherExemptions) { return this.Combine( new Roster(otherGirls, otherBoys, otherExemptions)); }
In this incarnation, the dissolved method overload creates a new Roster
from its argument list and delegates to the other overload. This is, however, an arbitrary implementation detail. You could just as well implement the two methods the other way around:
public Roster Combine(Roster other) { return this.Combine( other.Girls, other.Boys, other.Exemptions.ToArray()); } public Roster Combine( int otherGirls, int otherBoys, params string[] otherExemptions) { return new Roster( this.Girls + otherGirls, this.Boys + otherBoys, this.Exemptions.Concat(otherExemptions).ToArray()); }
In this variation, the overload that takes three arguments contains the implementation, whereas the Combine(Roster)
overload simply delegates to the Combine(int, int, string[])
overload.
In order to illustrate the idea that both APIs are equivalent, in this example I show two method overloads side by side. The overall point, however, is that you can translate between such two representations without changing the behaviour of the system. You don't have to keep both method overloads in place together.
In relationship to statically typed functional programming, the term argument list is confounding. In the functional programming languages I've so far dabbled with (F#, Haskell, PureScript, Clojure, Erlang), the word list is used synonymously with linked list.
As a data type, a linked list can hold an arbitrary number of elements. (In Haskell, it can even be infinite, because Haskell is lazily evaluated.) Statically typed languages like F# and Haskell add the constraint that all elements must have the same type.
An argument list like (Qux qux, Corge corge)
isn't at all a statically typed linked list. Neither does it have an arbitrary size nor does it contain elements of the same type. On the contrary, it has a fixed length (two), and elements of different types. The first element must be a Qux
value, and the second element must be a Corge
value.
That's not a list; that's a tuple.
Surprisingly, Haskell may provide the most digestible illustration of that, even if you don't know how to read Haskell syntax. Suppose you have the values qux
and corge
, of similarly named types. Consider a C# method call Baz(qux, corge)
. What's the type of the 'argument list'?
λ> :type (qux, corge) (qux, corge) :: (Qux, Corge)
:type
is a GHCi command that displays the type of an expression. By coincidence (or is it?), the C# argument list (qux, corge)
is also valid Haskell syntax, but it is syntax for a tuple. In this example, the tuple is a pair where the first element has the type Qux
, and the second element has the type Corge
, but (foo, qux, corge)
would be a triple, (foo, qux, corge, grault)
would be a quadruple, and so on.
We know that the argument list/tuple isomorphism exists, because that's how the F# compiler works. F# is a multi-paradigmatic language, and it can interact with C# code. It does that by treating all C# argument lists as tuples. Consider this example of calling Math.Pow:
let i = Math.Pow(2., 4.)
Programmers who still write more C# than F# often write it like that, because it looks like a method call, but I prefer to insert a space between the method and the arguments:
let i = Math.Pow (2., 4.)
The reason is that in F#, function calls are delimited with space. The brackets are there in order to override the normal operator precedence, just like you'd write (1 + 2) * 3
in order to get 9
instead of 7
. This is better illustrated by introducing an intermediate value:
let t = (2., 4.) let i = Math.Pow t
or even
let t = 2., 4. let i = Math.Pow t
because the brackets are now redundant. In the last two examples, t
is a tuple of two floating-point numbers. All four code examples are equivalent and compile, thereby demonstrating that a translation exist from F# tuples to C# argument lists.
The inverse translation exists as well. You can see a demonstration of this in the (dormant) Numsense code base, which includes an object-oriented Façade, which defines (among other things) an interface where the TryParse
method takes a tuple argument. Here's the declaration of that method:
abstract TryParse : s : string * [<Out>]result : int byref -> bool
That looks cryptic, but if you remove the [<Out>]
annotation and the argument names, the method is declared as taking single input value of the type string * int byref
. It's a single value, but it's a tuple (a pair).
Perhaps it's easier to understand if you see an implementation of this interface method, so here's the English implementation:
member this.TryParse (s, result) = Helper.tryParse Numeral.tryParseEnglish (s, &result)
You can see that, as I've described above, I've inserted a space between this.TryParse
and (s, result)
, in order to highlight that this is an F# function that takes a single tuple as input.
In C#, however, you can use the method as though it had a standard C# argument list:
int i; var success = Numeral.English.TryParse( "one-thousand-three-hundred-thirty-seven", out i);
You'll note that this is an advanced example that involves an out
parameter, but even in this edge case, the translation is possible.
C# argument lists and F# tuples are isomorphic. I'd be surprised if this result doesn't extend to other languages.
The third isomorphism that I claim exists is the one between Parameter Objects and tuples. If, however, we assume that the two above isomorphisms hold, then this third isomorphism exists as well. I know from my copy of Conceptual Mathematics that isomorphisms are transitive. If you can translate from Parameter Object to argument list, and from argument list to tuple, then you can translate from Parameter Object to tuple; and vice versa.
Thus, I'm not going to use more words on this isomorphism.
Argument lists, Parameter Objects, and tuples are isomorphic. This has a few interesting implications, first of which is that because all these refactorings exist, you can employ them. If a method's argument list is inconvenient, consider introducing a Parameter Object. If your Parameter Object starts to look so generic that you have a hard time coming up with good names for its elements, perhaps a tuple is more appropriate. On the other hand, if you have a tuple, but it's unclear what role each unnamed element plays, consider refactoring to an argument list or Parameter Object.
Another important result is that since these three ways to model arguments are isomorphic, we can treat them as interchangeable in analysis. For instance, from category theory we can learn about the properties of tuples. These properties, then, also apply to C# and Java argument lists.
Next: Uncurry isomorphisms.

D-Day hero surprised by friends, family with party on 95th birthday
by Ashley PembertonA British World War II veteran who received the Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur for his bravery as a teenager celebrated his 95th birthday Sunday with a surprise party.
Hubert Miller was just 19 when he stormed the Normandy beaches to help liberate German-occupied France in June 1944 along with thousands of other Allied soldiers.
Hubert, who was awarded the highest French order of merit three years ago for his brave actions that day, served in the British Royal Artillery regiment during the war.
As the nation remembered its war dead Sunday, the day took on an extra poignancy for Hubert as it fell on his 95th birthday.
The sprightly great-grandfather attended his local remembrance service as he does every year before his family surprised him with a birthday party at his home.
Proud son Ian, 52, said: "We started the day with a skype call to my sister Julie in Australia and his great-grandchild who he has never met.
"Then we went to the remembrance service and took him for a coffee, where all his friends were waiting to surprise him.
"He's amazing, he's such an inspiration.
"He has had a couple of strokes and a few heart problems, but he has not let that get him down.
"He's always telling jokes and making people laugh and is very popular."
Hubert has lived in Royston all his life and went on to work as a bus driver and a coal miner after the war.
WORLD WAR II SHIPWRECK IS THE DEEPEST EVER FOUND
After retirement, he would volunteer as a driver for Age UK and Help the Aged charities and would often be driving people younger than him around as part of his duties.
Ian added: "He was driving until he was 91 and still lives independently in sheltered housing.
"For his 90th birthday, we flew to Australia to visit my sister.
"While people his age are struggling to go on coach trips, he's been flying to Tenerife.
“He’s one of the oldest surviving Normandy veterans in the area.
“Every year we go to church for the Remembrance service and we always know it’s going to be around his birthday.
"Obviously this year it’s on his birthday, but it was only this week I twigged his birthday was the same day so we wanted to do something special for him.
"It's extra special as it is in the year of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

"He is a very proud chap and he never spoke too much about the war.
"He had a really bad experience where he was in a jeep that was blown up and he went unarmed behind enemy lines to get help."

I found myself forced to fill in a questionnaire the other day, which at one point asked: "Are you offended by anything that offends good taste?" I had to answer no. While I do usually take a highbrow approach to things, there are no absolutes when it comes to possible emotional reactions. Sometimes it's healthy to view things from a low down and dirty point of view.
"Final Destination" proves my point. It's not a great horror movie, nor a scary one, and it doesn't even try to satirise its genre. It simply inspires its viewers to indulge lurid fascination with violence. I usually find that repellent -- look at my scathing reviews of "The Bone Collector", "Ravenous", "8mm" and "Urban Legend". What distinguishes this film from those is how up-front it is about its morbidity; it's unashamed Grand Guignol, rather than sick titillation pretending to be serious drama.
The story begins when a group of forty high-school students board a plane for Paris. One of them, Alex (Devon Sawa), has a vivid premonition of the aircraft exploding into flames after take-off. He freaks out trying to warn people, and in the ensuing commotion gets thrown off the plane, along with a teacher (Kristen Cloke) and five other students (Ali Larter, Kerr Smith, Chad E. Donella, Seann William Scott, Amanda Detmer). From the airport this group see that Alex was right -- the plane blows up before their eyes.
Are the survivors lucky? Well, no, because they soon start dying off anyway, and in a speech full of hammed-up grimacing and portentous groaning, a strange mortician named Bloodworth (Tony Todd) offers them an interesting theory as to why: In cheating death by getting off the plane, they've gone against the Grim Reaper's plan, and the creature is now stalking them to make up for it. All our heroes have to do is figure out the nature of this plan, and how to cheat it again. Ah, no problem.
It's unconventional to find a teen horror movie in which Death himself is the villain. Refreshing, too, since there is no opportunity for silly slasher-pic clichés involving friends creeping up on each other and causing false alarms, or moments where people creep around in the dark while a killer lurks in the shadows. Instead we get elaborate supernatural death traps, which are so twisted that our morbid curiosity is enthralled. I don't want to give too many specifics away, because the appeal of "Final Destination" lies in waiting to see how creative its moments of doom will get, but let me whet your appetite for their gleefully sadistic flavour: In one scene, a leak causes a kid's bathroom floor to get slippy, while he, unaware, uses a razor to nick a pimple from his neck, cuts his nose hair with a sharp scissors, and stands opposite a cord that could strangle him if he fell on it. We know he's going to die, we can see he's surrounded by potentially fatal objects, and we can't turn our eyes from the screen until we've seen him stumble into his demise.
This is of course sick, but it's fun, too, even after it's been repeated seven times. We leer at how gruesome the film is, allow ourselves to jump when death strikes, then laugh at ourselves for jumping. I suspect "Final Destination", unlike most horror movies, will not look dated in years to come, as it deals directly with the universally interesting theme of mortality. Okay, so it deals with it in a goofy way, but goofiness will live forever, too.

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Ball Guy is not creepy, he’s a friend
Follow Polygon online:
by Patricia HernandezI knew it the moment I saw him. His perfectly round head. His cute buck tooth. Those innocent wide eyes. His smooth, porcelain-white skin. The way his polo and shorts hug his body just so.
Even before I spoke to him outside of the first gym, I knew the undeniable truth: Ball Guy is good. Ball Guy is a friend. He didn’t even need to give me a Poké Ball for me to feel this way; Ball Guy’s mere existence is not only valid, but crucial in our increasingly cynical world. Ball Guy knows what he likes, and he earnestly embodies it — literally. We could all do to learn from Ball Guy.

And yet, wherever I look, so-called “Pokémon fans” besmirch Ball Guy’s name.
“He scares me,” cowards say. “Why does he look like that?” these poor, lost souls continue. “How did he get into my house?” they whimper with fear.
Ball Guy does not owe us an explanation. Ball Guy exists in a world where grown men run around in Pikachu onesies while holding six of the same useless monsters and it’s fine.  Actually, Ball Guy is a helpful pal. He’s always ready to give you a new ball when you find another gym, complete with everything you need to know to make use of it. I love Ball Guy, even if I can’t really name search him online without regretting my entire life.
Ball Guy’s fandom is small, but it is pure, and that makes me happy. Thank you, Ball Guy.
