IPSWAYS Scala Meetup - Partial function vs. Currying

currying.scala

  def lessThan(max: Int, value: Int) = value < max
  //> lessThan: (max: Int, value: Int)Boolean
  lessThan(5, 10)                                 
  //> res0: Boolean = false
  
  // Partial applied functions
  val lessThan5 = lessThan(max = 5, _: Int) 
  //> lessThan5  : Int => Boolean = <function1>
  lessThan5(10)                                   
  //> res1: Boolean = false
  
  // Curried function
  def lessThanCurried(max: Int)(value: Int) = value < max
  //> lessThanCurried: (max: Int)(value: Int)Boolean
  lessThanCurried(5)(10)                          
  //> res2: Boolean = false
 
  val lessThan5Curried = lessThanCurried(5)_
