Currying
Explore currying as a fundamental concept in functional programming and how it applies to TypeScript. Learn to convert multi-argument functions into sequences of single-argument functions, enabling cleaner, modular, and more composable code. This lesson helps you understand currying’s usefulness in managing function dependencies and composing operations with fp-ts.

What is currying?
Currying involves converting the function, combining multiple arguments into a series of functions that are executed one after another.
Whenever we feed it an argument, we can write a function that returns another function that also accepts an argument and returns a function. This continues to happen until the final argument is passed. When that happens, the code block executes. This is called currying, and it’s very popular in functional languages like Haskell and F#. The following code snippet is a boilerplate example of currying:
