Definition:Pointwise Addition of Integer-Valued Functions

Definition
Let $S$ be a non-empty set. Let $f, g: S \to \Z$ be integer-valued functions.

Then the pointwise sum of $f$ and $g$ is defined as:
 * $f + g: S \to \Z:$
 * $\forall s \in S: \left({f + g}\right) \left({s}\right) := f \left({s}\right) + g \left({s}\right)$

where the $+$ on the right is integer addition.

Thus pointwise addition is seen to be an instance of a pointwise operation on integer-valued functions.
