Method Summary
`def` | chain [a](fs : Seq[(a) => a]) : (a) => a Given a sequence of functions `f1`, ..., `fn`, return the function `f1 andThen ... andThen fn`.
`def` | curried [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, b](f : (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) => b) : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => (a4) => (a5) => b Currying for functions of arity 5.
`def` | curried [a1, a2, a3, a4, b](f : (a1, a2, a3, a4) => b) : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => (a4) => b Currying for functions of arity 4.
`def` | curried [a1, a2, a3, b](f : (a1, a2, a3) => b) : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => b Currying for functions of arity 3.
`def` | curried [a1, a2, b](f : (a1, a2) => b) : (a1) => (a2) => b Currying for functions of arity 2. This transforms a function of arity 2 into a a unary function returning another unary function.
`def` | tupled [a1, a2, a3, a4, b](f : (a1, a2, a3, a4) => b) : ((a1, a2, a3, a4)) => b Tupling for functions of arity 4. This transforms a function of arity 4 into a unary function that takes a 4-tuple of arguments.
`def` | tupled [a1, a2, a3, b](f : (a1, a2, a3) => b) : ((a1, a2, a3)) => b Tupling for functions of arity 3. This transforms a function of arity 3 into a unary function that takes a triple of arguments.
`def` | tupled [a1, a2, b](f : (a1, a2) => b) : ((a1, a2)) => b Tupling for functions of arity 2. This transforms a function of arity 2 into a unary function that takes a pair of arguments.
`def` | tupled [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, b](f : (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) => b) : ((a1, a2, a3, a4, a5)) => b Tupling for functions of arity 5. This transforms a function of arity 5 into a unary function that takes a 5-tuple of arguments.
`def` | uncurried [a1, a2, a3, a4, b](f : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => (a4) => b) : (a1, a2, a3, a4) => b Uncurrying for functions of arity 4.
`def` | uncurried [a1, a2, b](f : (a1) => (a2) => b) : (a1, a2) => b Uncurrying for functions of arity 2. This transforms a unary function returning another unary function into a function of arity 2.
`def` | uncurried [a1, a2, a3, b](f : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => b) : (a1, a2, a3) => b Uncurrying for functions of arity 3.
`def` | uncurried [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, b](f : (a1) => (a2) => (a3) => (a4) => (a5) => b) : (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) => b Uncurrying for functions of arity 5.
`def` | untupled [a1, a2, b](f : ((a1, a2)) => b) : (a1, a2) => b Un-tupling for functions of arity 2. This transforms a function taking a pair of arguments into a binary function which takes each argument separately.
`def` | untupled [a1, a2, a3, a4, b](f : ((a1, a2, a3, a4)) => b) : (a1, a2, a3, a4) => b Un-tupling for functions of arity 4. This transforms a function taking a 4-tuple of arguments into a function of arity 4 which takes each argument separately.
`def` | untupled [a1, a2, a3, b](f : ((a1, a2, a3)) => b) : (a1, a2, a3) => b Un-tupling for functions of arity 3. This transforms a function taking a triple of arguments into a ternary function which takes each argument separately.
`def` | untupled [a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, b](f : ((a1, a2, a3, a4, a5)) => b) : (a1, a2, a3, a4, a5) => b Un-tupling for functions of arity 5. This transforms a function taking a 5-tuple of arguments into a function of arity 5 which takes each argument separately.
