applicative order reduction

    An evaluation strategy under which an
   expression is evaluated by repeatedly evaluating its leftmost
   innermost redex.  This means that a function's arguments are
   evaluated before the function is applied.  This method will
   not terminate if a function is given a non-terminating
   expression as an argument even if the function is not strict
   in that argument.  Also known as call-by-value since the
   values of arguments are passed rather than their names.  This
   is the evaluation strategy used by ML, Scheme, Hope and
   most procedural languages such as C and Pascal.

   See also normal order reduction, parallel reduction.
