Type of a function with Implicit parameters in Scala

浪尽此生 提交于 2019-11-27 18:26:24
问题 I would like to have a higher order function that takes in parameter a function that accepts a specific implicit parameter. To be more precise, I am trying to make a function that takes a Future creation method that depends on an implicit context and returns a method that doesn't depend on the context. To be more concrete, let's say that I have something like this: def foo(a: Int)(implicit ctx: ExecutionContext): Future[Float] = future { somelongBar... } I would like to do have a method like

Curry Function in Swift

梦想与她 提交于 2019-11-27 14:49:16
I want to make a function that return a curry function like below func addTwoNumbers(a: Int)(b: Int) -> Int { return a + b } addTwoNumbers(4)(b: 6) // Result: 10 var add4 = addTwoNumbers(4) add4(b: 10) // returns 14 What is the return type of such function and how can I generate a function like this using a function that take Variadic parameters. func generateCurry(.../*Variadic parameters*/) -> .../*curry function type*/ { return ...//curry function } I want a generic solution and not take only Int as arguments in the parmeter of the generateCurry function let curried = curry(func(a, b, c) {

What are the practical advantages of currying?

问题 I see a lot of documentation and questions about what the currying technique is, but I have found very little information on why one would use it in practice. My question is, what are the advantages of currying? Perhaps you can provide a trivial example where currying would be preferable to conventional method invocation. I work in C++ while the sun is up, so to date I have had little exposure to currying other than out-of work tinkering with languages. 回答1: First, it's very common to mistake

F# curried function

问题 Anyone have a decent example, preferably practical/useful, they could post demonstrating the concept? 回答1: (Edit: a small Ocaml FP Koan to start things off) The Koan of Currying (A koan about food, that is not about food) A student came to Jacques Garrigue and said, "I do not understand what currying is good for." Jacques replied, "Tell me your favorite meal and your favorite dessert". The puzzled student replied that he liked okonomiyaki and kanten, but while his favorite restaurant served

Practical use of curried functions?

痴心易碎 提交于 2019-11-27 12:49:30
问题 There are tons of tutorials on how to curry functions, and as many questions here at stackoverflow. However, after reading The Little Schemer, several books, tutorials, blog posts, and stackoverflow threads I still don't know the answer to the simple question: "What's the point of currying?" I do understand how to curry a function, just not the "why?" behind it. Could someone please explain to me the practical uses of curried functions (outside of languages that only allow one argument per

What does lambda with 2 arrows mean in Java 8?

问题 I have read several Java 8 tutorials before. Right now I encountered following topic: Does java support Currying? Here, I see following code: IntFunction<IntUnaryOperator> curriedAdd = a -> b -> a + b; System.out.println(curriedAdd.apply(1).applyAsInt(12)); I understand that this example sum 2 elements but I cannot understand the construction: a -> b -> a + b; According to the left part of expression, this row should implement following function: R apply(int value); Before this, I only met

Applying an argument list to curried function using foldLeft in Scala

独自空忆成欢 提交于 2019-11-27 08:19:02
Is it possible to do a foldLeft on a list of arguments, where the initial value supplied to the fold is a fully curried function, the operator is apply , and the list is a list of arguments to be passed to function f ? For example, let's say f is defined as: scala> val f = (i: Int, j: Int, k: Int, l: Int) => i+j+k+l f: (Int, Int, Int, Int) => Int = <function4> Which we can of course use directly: scala> f(1, 2, 3, 4) res1: Int = 10 Or curry and apply the arguments one at a time: scala> f.curried res2: Int => Int => Int => Int => Int = <function1> scala> f.curried.apply(1).apply(2).apply(3)

Why does Scala provide both multiple parameters lists and multiple parameters per list? [duplicate]

混江龙づ霸主 提交于 2019-11-27 06:07:24
This question already has an answer here: What's the difference between multiple parameters lists and multiple parameters per list in Scala? 4 answers Multiple parameters lists, e.g. def foo(a:Int)(b:Int) = {} and multiple parameters per list, e.g. def foo(a:Int, b:Int) = {} are semantically equivalent so far as I can tell, and most functional languages have only one way of declaring multiple parameters, e.g. F#. The only reason I can figure out for supporting both these styles of function definitions is to allow syntax-like language extensions using a parameter list that has only one

Scala Functional Literals with Implicits

我的梦境 提交于 2019-11-27 04:20:35
问题 Forgive me if this has already been asked elsewhere. I have a Scala syntax question involving function-values and implicit parameters. I'm comfortable using implicits with Scala's currying feature. For instance if I had a sum function and wanted to make the second argument an implicit: scala> def sum(a: Int)(implicit b: Int) = a + b sum: (a: Int)(implicit b: Int)Int Is there a way to do this using the function-value syntax? Ignoring the implicit for a moment, I typically write curried

Currying decorator in python

不羁岁月 提交于 2019-11-27 04:04:46
问题 I am trying to write a currying decorator in python, and I think I've got the general idea down, but still got some cases that aren't working right... def curry(fun): cache = [] numargs = fun.func_code.co_argcount def new_fun(*args, **kwargs): print args print kwargs cache.extend(list(args)) if len(cache) >= numargs: # easier to do it explicitly than with exceptions temp = [] for _ in xrange(numargs): temp.append(cache.pop()) fun(*temp) return new_fun @curry def myfun(a,b): print a,b While
