Javascript

// Defining underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib');

// Function
function mul(a, b, c, d){
    return a*b*c*d;
}

// Making curried function
var gfgFunc = _.fix(mul, 1,2,_,4);

// 3 is replaced by _ in given values
console.log("Multiplication is :",gfgFunc(3));

Output:

Multiplication is : 24

Example 2:

Javascript

// Defining Underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib');

// Function
function add(a, b, c){
    return a+b+c;
}

// Making fixed function
var gfgFunc = _.fix(add, 1, 2, _);

console.log("Addition is :",gfgFunc(3));

Output: 

Addition is : 6

Example 3:

Javascript

// Defining Underscore contrib variable
var _ = require('underscore-contrib');

// Function
function fun(str){
    return str;
}

// Making fixed function
var gfgFunc = _.fix(fun, _);

console.log("Coding Platform :",
      gfgFunc("GeeksforGeeks"));

Output: 

Coding Platform : GeeksforGeeks
