--description--
The arity of a function is the number of arguments it requires. Currying a function means to convert a function of N arity into N functions of arity 1.
In other words, it restructures a function so it takes one argument, then returns another function that takes the next argument, and so on.
Here's an example:
function unCurried(x, y) {
return x + y;
}
function curried(x) {
return function(y) {
return x + y;
}
}
const curried = x => y => x + y
curried(1)(2)
curried(1)(2)
would return 3
.
This is useful in your program if you can't supply all the arguments to a function at one time. You can save each function call into a variable, which will hold the returned function reference that takes the next argument when it's available. Here's an example using the curried function in the example above:
const funcForY = curried(1);
console.log(funcForY(2)); // 3
Similarly, partial application can be described as applying a few arguments to a function at a time and returning another function that is applied to more arguments. Here's an example:
function impartial(x, y, z) {
return x + y + z;
}
const partialFn = impartial.bind(this, 1, 2);
partialFn(10); // 13
--instructions--
Fill in the body of the add
function so it uses currying to add parameters x
, y
, and z
.
--hints--
add(10)(20)(30)
should return 60
.
assert(add(10)(20)(30) === 60);
add(1)(2)(3)
should return 6
.
assert(add(1)(2)(3) === 6);
add(11)(22)(33)
should return 66
.
assert(add(11)(22)(33) === 66);
Your code should include a final statement that returns x + y + z
.
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/[xyz]\s*?\+\s*?[xyz]\s*?\+\s*?[xyz]/g));
