```javascript
function pythagoreanMeans(rangeArr) {
  // arithmeticMean :: [Number] -> Number
  const arithmeticMean = xs =>
    foldl((sum, n) => sum + n, 0, xs) / length(xs);

  // geometricMean :: [Number] -> Number
  const geometricMean = xs =>
    raise(foldl((product, x) => product * x, 1, xs), 1 / length(xs));

  // harmonicMean :: [Number] -> Number
  const harmonicMean = xs =>
    length(xs) / foldl((invSum, n) => invSum + (1 / n), 0, xs);

  // GENERIC FUNCTIONS ------------------------------------------------------

  // A list of functions applied to a list of arguments
  // <*> :: [(a -> b)] -> [a] -> [b]
  const ap = (fs, xs) => //
    Array.prototype.concat(...fs.map(f => //
      Array.prototype.concat(...xs.map(x => [f(x)]))));

  // foldl :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> [a] -> b
  const foldl = (f, a, xs) => xs.reduce(f, a);

  // length :: [a] -> Int
  const length = xs => xs.length;

  // mapFromList :: [(k, v)] -> Dictionary
  const mapFromList = kvs =>
    foldl((a, [k, v]) =>
      (a[(typeof k === 'string' && k)] = v, a), {}, kvs);

  // raise :: Num -> Int -> Num
  const raise = (n, e) => Math.pow(n, e);
/*
  // show :: a -> String
  // show :: a -> Int -> String
  const show = (...x) =>
    JSON.stringify.apply(
      null, x.length > 1 ? [x[0], null, x[1]] : x
    );
*/
  // zip :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a,b)]
  const zip = (xs, ys) =>
    xs.slice(0, Math.min(xs.length, ys.length))
      .map((x, i) => [x, ys[i]]);

  // TEST -------------------------------------------------------------------
  // mean :: Dictionary
  const mean = mapFromList(zip(
    ['Arithmetic', 'Geometric', 'Harmonic'],
    ap([arithmeticMean, geometricMean, harmonicMean], [
      rangeArr
