Advantages of using curried functions over a normal function in javascript

Question

Below is a specific use case of using a normal and a curried function. Are there any advantages for using either if you only using two arguments?

//Normal Functi         


        

Answer 1

Here's a small example:

let add = (x, y) => x + y;
let addc = x => y => x + y;

// add 5 to every element

result = [1,2,3,4,5].map(x => add(x, 5))  // dirty and tedious
result = [1,2,3,4,5].map(addc(5))         // nice and tidy

In general, curried functions allow to express the logic in a "point-free" style, that is, as a combination of functions, without using variables, arguments and similar constructs.
