Composite of Endomorphisms is Endomorphism

Theorem
Let $\struct {S, \circ_1, \circ_2, \ldots, \circ_n}$ be an algebraic structure.

Let:
 * $\phi: \struct {S, \circ_1, \circ_2, \ldots, \circ_n} \to \struct {S, \circ_1, \circ_2, \ldots, \circ_n}$
 * $\psi: \struct {S, \circ_1, \circ_2, \ldots, \circ_n} \to \struct {S, \circ_1, \circ_2, \ldots, \circ_n}$

be endomorphisms.

Then the composite of $\phi$ and $\psi$ is also an endomorphism.

Proof
From Composite of Homomorphisms on Algebraic Structure is Homomorphism, $\psi \circ \phi$ is a homomorphism.

From the definition of composition of mappings, $\psi \circ \phi$ is a mapping from $S$ into $S$.

Hence $\psi \circ \phi$ is an endomorphism.
