curry

A function to be curried. Can be any function (normal,
already curried, primitives).

The value that should be applied to the first argument.


The <code>curry</code> function and the <code>%<%< code=""> operator performs currying on
a function by partially applying the first argument, returning a function
that accepts all but the first arguments of the former function. If the first
argument is <code>...</code> the curried argument will be interpreted as part of
the ellipsis and the ellipsis will be retained in the returned function. It
is thus possible to curry functions comtaining ellipis arguments to infinity
(though not adviced).
</%<></code>

Partial application is the process of reducing the arity of a
function by fixing one or more arguments, thus creating a new function
lacking the fixed arguments. The curry package provides three different ways
of performing partial function application by fixing arguments from either
end of the argument list (currying and tail currying) or by fixing multiple
named arguments (partial application). This package provides this
functionality through the %<%, %-<%, and %><% operators which allows for
a programming style comparable to modern functional languages. Compared
to other implementations such a purrr::partial() the operators in curry
composes functions with named arguments, aiding in autocomplete etc.
