Reducing a multiple arguments function with currying

Currying is a technique to split a function that takes multiple arguments into evaluating a sequence of functions, each with a single argument. In other words, we create other functions based on a current function by reducing the current function. Let's suppose we have a function named areaOfRectangle(), which takes two parameters, length and width. The code will be like this:

    /* curry_1.cpp */

#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Variadic template for currying
template<typename Func, typename... Args>
auto curry(Func func, Args... args)
{
return [=](auto... lastParam)
{
return func(args..., lastParam...);
};
}

int areaOfRectangle(int length, int width)
{
return length * width;
}

auto main() -> int
