Partial application

In computer science, partial application (or partial function application) refers to the process of fixing a number of arguments of a function, producing another function of smaller arity. Given a function f : ( X × Y × Z ) → N {\displaystyle f\colon (X\times Y\times Z)\to N} , we might fix (or 'bind') the first argument, producing a function of type…
