Scala – Partially Applied Function (Using Currying Approach)

Here, we will demonstrate the partially applied function currying. And, we will divide a number from another number and called a function using the currying approach.

Scala code to demonstrate the example of partially applied function using currying approach

The source code to demonstrate a partially applied function using the currying approach is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to demonstrate the
// partially applied function using currying approach

object Sample {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // applying currying approach
    val div = (Division _).curried

    // Displays division
    printf("Result: %d\n", div(49)(7))
  }

  def Division(num1: Int, num2: Int): Int = {
    return num1 / num2;
  }
}

Output

Result: 7

Explanation

In the above program, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. We created an object Sample, and we defined main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

Here, we created a function Division() to divide a number by another number and return the result to the calling function.

In the main() function, we called partial function with currying approach and print the result on the console screen.
