Difference between Partial Application and Currying

Partial Application:

• process of applying a function to some of its arguments
• it takes in a function with multiple parameters and returns a function with fewer parameters
• may or may not have a predictable return type

Curry:

• takes in a function with multiple parameters and returns a function with exactly one parameter
• always returns a function with exactly one parameter
