This is not a school assignment. I ask this question for fun. I want to know if my answer is right.
There are different higher officials in chess, it includes Rooks, Knights, Bishops, Queen and King. Each piece has its own way of capturing a piece of the oponent and for each movement is a relation. In relating to functions, can you consider the moves of a knight a function?
A bishop has higher ranks than a knight. Do you think that it is because of the probability that a bishop can capture more enemies than a knight?

No, the knight move is not a function because it goes in an L shape,
which is both left to right and up to down or vice versa.
I don't think a bishop has higher rank than a knight because knights can travel on both black and white squares, and a bishop only travels on white squares, or only on black squares.

point wise bishops and knights are worth the same. 3 points. as for the higher probability of catching pieces oith the bishop i beleive that depends on the player. i am personally a stronger player with my knights then my bishops.

A function has to map each value into a single value.
If you want to regard a knight's 8 possible moves as a function, you need to do some more explaining of what is being mapped to what.
