Curry Function
Implement curry(fn) to transform a multi-argument function into chained calls. Collect arguments across invocations, allow partial application, and invoke the original function once enough args have been provided. Concepts: closure, currying, functions.
What you’ll build / What this tests
This premium javascript coding focuses on Curry Function. You’ll apply closure and currying thinking with hard level constraints. The prompt emphasizes Implement curry(fn) to transform a multi-argument function into chained calls. Collect arguments across invocations, allow partial….
Learning goals
- Translate the prompt into a clear javascript API signature and return shape.
- Apply closure, currying, functions techniques to implement curry function.
- Handle hard edge cases without sacrificing readability.
- Reason about time/space complexity and trade-offs in javascript.
Key decisions to discuss
- Define the exact input/output contract before coding.
- Prioritize predictable edge-case handling over micro-optimizations.
Evaluation rubric
- Correctness: covers required behaviors and edge cases.
- Clarity: readable structure and predictable control flow.
- Complexity: avoids unnecessary work for large inputs.
- API discipline: no mutation of inputs; returns expected shape.
- Testability: solution is easy to unit test.
Constraints / Requirements
- Handle empty or missing inputs without throwing errors.
- Keep runtime close to linear time where possible.
- Prefer a pure function: no side effects beyond the return value.
- Be explicit about edge cases and error states.
- Prioritize clarity over cleverness in explanations.
- Explain the trade-offs behind your choices.
Mini snippet (usage only)
// Example usage
const fn = /* curry function input */;
const result = curry(fn);
console.log(result);
// Edge case check
const empty = fn ?? null;
const fallback = curry(fn);
console.log(fallback);
// Expected: describe output shape, not the implementation
// (no solution code in preview)Common pitfalls
- Mutating inputs instead of returning a new value.
- Skipping edge cases like empty input, duplicates, or nulls.
- Overlooking time complexity for large inputs.
