+Performs right-to-left function composition.
+
+Use `reduce()` to perform right-to-left function composition. 
+The last (rightmost) function can accept one or more arguments; the remaining functions must be unary.
+
+```py
+from functools import reduce
+
+def compose(*fns):
+  return reduce(lambda f, g: lambda *args: f(g(*args)), fns)
+```
+
+```py
+add5 = lambda x: x + 5
+multiply = lambda x, y: x * y
+multiply_and_add_5 = compose(add5, multiply)
+
+multiply_and_add_5(5, 2) # 15
+```
