[Haskell-cafe] Functions that return functions

[michael rice]

My question was meant in the context of the makeVerifier function, which is passed a lambda expression. It's my understanding that Haskell lambda expressions can have only a single parameter, which is why I changed the function parameter to a pair, (i,d).

How would it be done otherwise?

Curried:

f :: a -> b -> c

amenable to partial application.

Uncurried:

g :: (a,b) -> c

not easy to apply partially.

The Prelude contains

curry :: ((a,b) -> c) -> (a -> b -> c)

uncurry :: (a -> b -> c) -> ((a,b) -> c)

to convert if needed.
