Currying
Explore the concept of currying in Python and understand how it enables functions to be called with fewer arguments, returning callable objects for later use. This lesson teaches you how to implement currying using the @curry decorator from the PyMonad library, how curried functions behave similarly to partial applications, and how to progressively apply arguments to gain flexibility in function calls.
We'll cover the following...
What is currying?
Currying is similar to partial application but takes a slightly different approach.
The term “currying” derives from the name of Haskell Curry, the mathematician who did a lot of work on the theory behind currying. The Haskell programming language is also named after him.
The Python term “pickling” (serializing an object for later retrieval), is vaguely analogous to the culinary process it is named after. However, the term “currying” has nothing to do with food. Searching for ...
