## Point Free
## Points-Free
> A function whose definition does not include information regarding its arguments.
```js
let abs = Math.abs
// Given
let combine = curry((fn, initialVal, list) => list.reduce(fn, initialVal));
let add = (a, b) => a + b;
// Then
// Not points-free
let total1 = (numbers) => combine(add, 0, numbers);
// Points-free
let total2 = combine(add, 0);
```
`total1` lists and uses the parameter `numbers`, so it is not points-free. `total2` is written just by combining functions and values, making no mention of its arguments. It _is_ points-free.
It is easy to recognize points-free function definitions; they are the ones that contain no '`function`' keywords and no fat arrows.
