Scala currying vs partially applied functions

Question

I realize that there are several questions on here about what currying and partially applied functions are, but I\'m asking about how they are diff

Answer 1

Just to clarify on the last point

Addition: As @asflierl has correctly pointed out, Scala doesn't seem to be able to infer the type when partially applying "normal" functions:

Scala can infer types if all parameters are wildcards but not when some of them are specified and some of them not.

scala> modN(_,_)
res38: (Int, Int) => Boolean = 

scala> modN(1,_)
:13: error: missing parameter type for expanded function ((x$1) => modN(1, x$1))
       modN(1,_)
              ^
