Title Body

I have a function with two parameter lists that I am trying to partially apply and use with currying. The second parameter list contains arguments that all have default values (but not implicit). Something like this: def test(a: Int)(b: Int = 2, c: Int = 3) { println(a + ", " + b + ", " + c); } Now, the following is all fine: test(1)(2, 3); test(1)(2); test(1)(c=3); test(1)(); Now if I define: def partial = test(1) _; Then the following can be done: partial(2, 3); Can someone explain why I can't omit some/all arguments in 'partial' as follows: partial(2); partial(c=3); partial(); Shouldn't writing "partial" behave essentially the same way as "test(1)"? Can someone please help me figure out a way to achieve this? Please help, I'm desperate! EDIT - Since I can't answer my own question within 24 hours, I'll post my own answer here: This is the best I could do myself so far: class Test2(val a: Int) { def apply(b: Int = 2, c: Int = 3) { println(a + ", " + b + ", " + c); } } def test2(a: Int) = new Test2(a); def partial2 = test2(1); // Note no underscore test2(1)(2, 3); test2(1)(2); test2(1)(c=3); test2(1)(); partial2(2, 3) partial2(2); partial2(c=3); partial2(); This way it works...
