continuation passing style

(programming)   (CPS) A style of programming in which every user function f takes an extra argument c known as a "continuation". Whenever f would normally return a result r to its caller, it instead returns the result of applying the continuation to r. The continuation thus represents the whole of the rest of the computation. Some examples:

 normal (direct style)  continuation passing style  square x = x * x   square x k = k (x * x)  g (square 23)    square 23 g  (square 3) + 1    square 3 ( \ s . s + 1 )
