1. Anamorphism

   In computer programming, an anamorphism is a function that generates a sequence by repeated application of the function to its previous result. You begin with some value A and apply a function f to it to get B. Then you apply f to B to get C, and so on until some terminating condition is reached. The anamorphism is the function that generates the list of A, B, C, etc. You can think of the anamorphism as unfolding the initial value into a sequence. The above layman's description can be stated more formally in category theory: the anamorphism of a coinductive type denotes the assignment of a coalgebra to its unique morphism to the final coalgebra of an endofunctor. These objects are used in functional programming as unfolds. The categorical dual (aka opposite) of the anamorphism is the catamorphism.

1. anamorphism

   Anamorphism is a concept in computer science and category theory, referring to a certain kind of function or transformation process that builds up data structures or objects. It's the generic form of 'unfold' or 'iterate' functions. Anamorphisms represent a structured way to generate progressively larger values, potentially infinite, into a sequence, list, tree or other data types. In other words, it is the process of data structure construction from a single value. Anamorphisms are used particularly in functional programming and the study of recursion schemes.
