This is called a named function reference. The digit represents the number of arguments of your function. > I could not find the documentation on using functions as argument on the > Wiki pages. This is true. Would anyone out there be interested in extending our Higher Order Functions article [1]? Here are two external references that may be of interest for you, though: * The slides of our XML Technologies course (No 4: "XQuery: More than Just a Query Language", Page 12) [2] * Priscilla Walmsley’s new book on XQuery [3] Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Higher-Order_Functions [2] http://phobos103.inf.uni-konstanz.de/xml15/ [3] https://books.google.de/books?id=wZ0bCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA360&dq="The+arity+is+required+to+uniquely+identify+the+function";
