In mathematics and computer science, currying is the technique of translating the evaluation of a function that takes multiple arguments (or a tuple of arguments) into evaluating a sequence of functions, each with a single argument.

Description

It was introduced by Gottlob Frege, developed by Moses Schönfinkel, and further developed by Haskell Curry.

Uncurrying

Uncurrying is the dual transformation to currying, and can be seen as a form of defunctionalization.

It takes a function f(x) that returns another function g(y) as a result, and yields a new function f ′(x, y) that takes a number of additional parameters and applies them to the function returned by function f.

The process can be iterated.
