Definition df-fv 5545
 Description: Define the value of a function, , also known as function application. For example, (we prove this in cos0 13592 after we define cosine in df-cos 13514). Typically, function is defined using maps-to notation (see df-mpt 4469 and df-mpt2 6227), but this is not required. For example, ={<.2,6>.,<.3,9>.}->( 3)=9 (ex-fv 24119). Note that df-ov 6225 will define two-argument functions using ordered pairs as . This particular definition is quite convenient: it can be applied to any class and evaluates to the empty set when it is not meaningful (as shown by ndmfv 5837 and fvprc 5807). The left apostrophe notation originated with Peano and was adopted in Definition *30.01 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 235, Definition 10.11 of [Quine] p. 68, and Definition 6.11 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 26. It means the same thing as the more familiar (A) notation for a function's value at , i.e. " of ," but without context-dependent notational ambiguity. Alternate definitions are dffv2 5887, dffv3 5809, fv2 5808, and fv3 5826 (the latter two previously required to be a set.) Restricted equivalents that require to be a function are shown in funfv 5881 and funfv2 5882. For the familiar definition of function value in terms of ordered pair membership, see funopfvb 5858.
