# Multi-Argument Functions As Syntactic Sugar
|
||||
|
||||
When writing a multi-argument function, like the following `adder` function:
|
||||
|
||||
```reason
|
||||
let adder = (x, y) => x + y;
|
||||
|
||||
adder(2, 3); /* => 5 */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We are utilizing a syntactic sugar of the function syntax. The same function
|
||||
can be written as such:
|
||||
|
||||
```reason
|
||||
let adder = (x) => (y) => x + y;
|
||||
|
||||
adder(2, 3); /* => 5 */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, we can apply the function in the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful because it means we can partially apply (or _curry_) our
|
||||
functions to create other functions.
|
||||
|
||||
```reason
|
||||
let adder = (x, y) => x + y;
|
||||
let twoAdder = adder(2);
|
||||
|
||||
twoAdder(5); /* => 7 */
|
||||
```
