Jul 31 at 17:53 comment added Tian Vlašić What @Kevin Carlson is trying to say is that when you write $f: X \rightarrow Y$, it means that $X$ (that is, $Y$) is the domain (that is, the codomain) of the morphism $f$. This has nothing to do with whether or not $f$ is a function. But, if $f$ is a function, then we write $f: x \mapsto y_x$ to mean that $f(x)=y_x$ for all $x \in X$. It is misleading to use $\mapsto$ for $\rightarrow$.
Jun 3 at 11:19 comment added Analyse300 Indeed! You are right all morphism are not mappings! Thanks.
Jun 3 at 6:43 comment added Kevin Carlson You are using the wrong arrow $\mapsto$ where you should write $\to.$ The $\mapsto$ arrow is used to describe a mapping on terms, as in $f:\mathbb R\to \mathbb R, x\mapsto x^2.$
