In mathematics and in computer programming, a variadic function is a function of indefinite arity, i.e., one which accepts a variable number of arguments.Support for variadic functions differs widely among programming languages.
What's going on in variadic functions (varargs, rest args) is that passed-in arguments are not each used to supply a value for a variable. The handling of the list of passed-in arguments is under the control of the function code itself. Instead of binding a bunch of variables, the arguments are passed in as a list.
PHP uses argc as a count of arguments and argv as an array containing the values of the arguments. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] To create an array from command-line arguments in the -foo:bar format, the following might be used:
SICP has been influential in computer science education, and several later books have been inspired by its style. Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (SICM), another book that uses Scheme as an instructional element, by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom; Software Design for Flexibility, by Chris Hanson and Gerald Jay Sussman

Currying provides a way for working with functions that take multiple arguments, and using them in frameworks where functions might take only one argument. For example, some analytical techniques can only be applied to functions with a single argument. Practical functions frequently take more arguments than this.
Zion Williamson has missed the New Orleans Pelicans' past seven games with a strained left hamstring. Unfortunately for the injury-riddled Pelicans, their star forward isn't likely to return soon. ...
Intuitively, partial function application says "if you fix the first arguments of the function, you get a function of the remaining arguments". For example, if function div(x,y) = x/y, then div with the parameter x fixed at 1 is another function: div 1 (y) = div(1,y) = 1/y.
