Can you explain the concept of currying in JavaScript and how it is used?

Currying is a technique in functional programming where a function with multiple arguments is transformed into a sequence of functions, each taking a single argument.

In JavaScript, this allows creating more flexible and reusable functions by partially applying arguments.

Example of currying:

function multiply(a) {
  return function(b) {
    return a * b;
  };
}

const double = multiply(2);
console.log(double(5)); // 10

Here, multiply takes one argument a and returns a function that takes b. This enables creating specialized functions, for example, double multiplies any number by 2.

Currying is useful for partial application of functions and creating chains of calls.
