I want to pass a function as an argument, the function to pass takes two arguments. I want the first argument filled, but the second one unfilled. Here is the example:
function a(firstarg, secondarg)
print ("this is the" .. firstarg .. "to the a function and the b function gave it ".. secondarg)
end
function b(givenfunction)
givenfunction("the second argument.")
The desired calls to the function:
b(a("first call"))
b(a("second call"))
The Desired output of the execution:
this is the first call to the a function and the b function gave it the second argument.
this is the second call to the a function and the b function gave it the second argument.
How can I do that?
function inner(firstarg, secondarg)
print ("this is the" .. firstarg .. "to the a function and the b function gave it ".. secondarg)
end
function a(firstarg)
return function (secondarg)
return inner(firstarg, secondarg)
end
end
function b(givenfunction)
givenfunction("the second argument.")
end
b(a("first call"))
b(a("second call"))
Worked like a charm. Thanks! :)
