if I had a function f that took x y and z in that order, is there some way that I can supply y and z and get back a function that takes x? This question comes about after talking with a prof about currying and wether it buys you anything.
There's a standard function 'flip' which solves a somewhat simpler and more common form of this problem. If you have a function f that takes x and y, is there some way to supply y and get back a function that takes x? flip f y Flip is defined as flip f x y = f y x This technique can be extended to answer your question. It doesn't nail down the value of currying.
