What is a applicative?
Answer / Krishan Kumar
In Scala, an Applicative is a type class that allows for function composition with functions that take one argument. It provides the ability to apply a function of one argument to an argument wrapped in a container object (such as Option or Either). The main methods in an applicative are `pure` which wraps a value and `map2` which applies two functions to two values.
