Understanding currying

Currying is a technique that converts a function with multiple arguments into a sequence of functions, each accepting a single argument. Named after the mathematician Haskell Curry, currying enables the partial application of arguments, where each supplied argument returns a new function poised for the next input. This approach is helpful when we want to reuse parts of the function in different scenarios or make some calculations between steps in a multi-step function.

Before diving into the concepts, let’s catch up with Steve and Julia.

Julia: Hey Steve, I see you’ve made great progress with functional programming. Today, we’ll explore currying and partial application, two powerful techniques that can help you write even more reusable and modular code.

Steve: Hi Julia! That sounds interesting. I’ve heard about these concepts but never really understood how to apply them in C#. Can you break it down for me?

Julia: Absolutely...
