Currying
In mathematics and computer science, currying is the technique of translating the evaluation of a function that takes multiple arguments into evaluating a sequence of functions, each with a single argument. For example, currying a function that takes three arguments creates a nested unary function , so that the code gives the same value as the code or called in sequence, In a more mathematical language, a function that takes two arguments, one from and one from , and produces outputs in by currying is translated into a function that takes a single argument from and produces as outputs functions from to This is a natural one-to-one correspondence between these two types of functions, so that the sets together with functions between them form a .
