Question

Help answer this question below.

Can a binary operation be modified into a unary operation? That is, can a calculation involving two operands turned to one operand?

Thus is it possible to assume, that addition, subtraction, division and multiplication for an example could be with a single input. I doubt it, sound like an absurd, but let's discuss anyways.

eh, kind of. it's called partial application. but fixing one argument of a binary operation results in something similar to, but other than, the operation it results from.

- the main distinction between a risc and cisc processor is that all instructions on a risc processor are only allowed to take, at most, one cycle. this limits the amount that can be done with each instruction. reduces it, if you will.
  
  this question is about weather you can transform a function on two variables into a function on one.
  
  the reduced in risc isn't a reduction in the number of arguments to a function.
  
  so, yeah, what are you talking about?
