Reading Time: 2 minutes What is Currying? Currying simply means converting a function taking more than one parameter can be into a series of functions with each taking one parameter. Example: As we can see, a function that takes 3 parameters is converted into a series of function calls taking one parameter each. The type of add is (Int, Int, Int) => Int [<function3>] The type of curriedAdd is Continue Reading

Reading Time: 3 minutes In this blog, we are going to talk about Partially applied functions and its use case. Before starting, first, we will emphasize that though Partial functions and Partially applied functions sound similar they are different from each other. To understand Partial Functions refer. What is function application? Applying a function is called calling a function. When we pass all arguments of the function, we can Continue Reading
