Partial function application: Difference between revisions

{{task|Programming language concepts}}

parameters and apply arguments to some of the parameters to create a new

function that needs only the application of the remaining arguments to

: Then <code>partial(f, param1=v1)</code> returns <code>f'(param2)</code>

: And <code>f(param1=v1, param2=v2) == f'(param2=v2)</code> (for any value v2)

 

Note that in the partial application of a parameter, (in the above case param1), other parameters are not explicitly mentioned. This is a recurring feature of partial function application.

 

;Task

 

* Test fsf1 and fsf2 by evaluating them with s being the sequence of integers from 0 to 3 inclusive and then the sequence of even integers from 2 to 8 inclusive.

 

;Notes

* In partially applying the functions f1 or f2 to fs, there should be no ''explicit'' mention of any other parameters to fs, although introspection of fs within the partial applicator to find its parameters ''is'' allowed.

* This task is more about ''how'' results are generated rather than just getting results.
