curry的一个例子是当你有一个函数时，你现在只知道其中一个参数:

例如:

func aFunction(str: String) {
    let callback = callback(str) // signature now is `NSData -> ()`
    performAsyncRequest(callback)
}

func callback(str: String, data: NSData) {
    // Callback code
}

func performAsyncRequest(callback: NSData -> ()) {
    // Async code that will call callback with NSData as parameter
}

在这里，因为你不知道回调的第二个参数，当它发送给performAsyncRequest(_:)时，你必须创建另一个lambda /闭包来发送给函数。

Curry可以简化代码。这是使用它的主要原因之一。curry是将一个接受n个参数的函数转换为n个只接受一个参数的函数的过程。

其原理是传递传递函数的参数，使用closure(闭包)属性，将它们存储在另一个函数中并将其作为返回值，这些函数形成一个链，最后的参数被传递进来完成操作。

这样做的好处是可以通过一次处理一个参数来简化参数的处理，也可以提高程序的灵活性和可读性。这也使程序更易于管理。此外，将代码分割成更小的片段将使其易于重用。

例如:

function curryMinus(x) 
{
  return function(y) 
  {
    return x - y;
  }
}

var minus5 = curryMinus(1);
minus5(3);
minus5(5);

我还可以做…

var minus7 = curryMinus(7);
minus7(3);
minus7(5);

这对于使复杂的代码变得整洁和处理非同步方法等非常有用。

其他答案已经说明了curry是什么:向curry函数传递的参数比它预期的要少，这不是错误，而是返回一个函数，该函数预期其余的参数，并返回相同的结果，就好像您一次性将它们全部传入一样。

我会试着解释为什么它有用。这是一种你从未意识到你需要的工具，直到你真正使用它。curry首先是一种让你的程序更具表现力的方法——你可以用更少的代码把操作组合在一起。

For example, if you have a curried function add, you can write the equivalent of JS x => k + x (or Python lambda x: k + x or Ruby { |x| k + x } or Lisp (lambda (x) (+ k x)) or …) as just add(k). In Haskelll you can even use the operator: (k +) or (+ k) (The two forms let you curry either way for non-commutative operators: (/ 9) is a function that divides a number by 9, which is probably the more common use case, but you also have (9 /) for a function that divides 9 by its argument.) Besides being shorter, the curried version contains no made-up parameter name like the x found in all the other versions. It’s not needed. You’re defining a function that adds some constant k to a number, and you don’t need to give that number a name just to talk about the function. Or even to define it. This is an example of what’s called “point-free style”. You can combine operations together given nothing but the operations themselves. You don’t have to declare anonymous functions that do nothing but apply some operation to their argument, because *that’s what the operations already are.

当以咖喱友好的方式定义高阶函数时，这变得非常方便。例如，curried map(fn, list)让您定义一个只使用map(fn)的映射器，可以稍后将其应用于任何列表。但是将定义为map(list, fn)的映射curry化只能让您定义一个将其他函数应用到常量列表的函数，这在一般情况下可能不太有用。

Currying reduces the need for things like pipes and threading. In Clojure, you might define a temperature conversion function using the threading macro ->: (defn f2c (deg) (-> deg (- 32) (* 5) (/ 9)). That’s cool, it reads nicely left to right (“subtract 32, multiply by 5 and divide by 9.”) and you only have to mention the parameter twice instead of once for every suboperation… but it only works because -> is a macro that transforms the whole form syntactically before anything is evaluated. It turns into a regular nested expression behind the scenes: (/ (* (- deg 32) 5) 9). If the math ops were curried, you wouldn’t need a macro to combine them so nicely, as in Haskell let f2c = (subtract 32) & (* 5) & (/ 9). (Although it would admittedly be more idiomatic to use function composition, which reads right to left: (/ 9) . (* 5) . (subtract 32).)

同样，很难找到好的演示例子;在复杂的情况下，咖喱是最有用的，因为它确实有助于解决方案的可读性，但这些需要太多的解释才能让您理解问题，以至于关于咖喱的整个课程可能会淹没在噪音中。

在这里，您可以找到c#中curry实现的简单解释。在评论中，我试图展示咖喱是如何有用的:

public static class FuncExtensions {
    public static Func<T1, Func<T2, TResult>> Curry<T1, T2, TResult>(this Func<T1, T2, TResult> func)
    {
        return x1 => x2 => func(x1, x2);
    }
}

//Usage
var add = new Func<int, int, int>((x, y) => x + y).Curry();
var func = add(1);

//Obtaining the next parameter here, calling later the func with next parameter.
//Or you can prepare some base calculations at the previous step and then
//use the result of those calculations when calling the func multiple times 
//with different input parameters.

int result = func(1);

下面是泛型和最短版本的函数用n no curry的例子。的参数。

const add = a => b => b ? add(a + b) : a; 

Const add = a => b => b ?Add (a + b): a; console.log(添加(1)(2)(3)(4)());

正如所有其他答案一样，咖喱有助于创建部分应用函数。Javascript不提供自动咖喱的原生支持。因此，上面提供的示例可能对实际编码没有帮助。在livescript中有一些很好的例子(基本上编译成js) http://livescript.net/

times = (x, y) --> x * y
times 2, 3       #=> 6 (normal use works as expected)
double = times 2
double 5         #=> 10

在上面的例子中，当你给出较少的no of参数时，livescript会为你生成新的curried函数(double)
