Binary function vs. ternary relation

Is the following statement true?

A binary function always is a ternary relation.

(I would say it is.) --Abdull (talk) 09:22, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert but I suspect it's a Binary relation. My reasoning is that if it's mapping an ordered pair (the inputs) to some output. Then the set representing the relation should be a set of ordered pairs each containing an ordered pair and an "output" element: ((a,b), c). Paulmiko (talk) 16:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
