Example
| Code Block | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||||||
function add(a,b) {
return a+b;
}
var Add5To = add.curry(5); // parameter "a" is pre-defined with value 5
Add5To(10); // 15 (parameter "a" already set to 5, "b" set to 10) |
A better example is shown in the Object.uAddProperty() example using a curried allianceExistsBetween() function.
