Lodash _.quaternary() Method

The Lodash _.quaternary() returns a new function that accepts only four arguments and passes these arguments to the given function. Additional arguments are discarded.

Syntax:

_.quaternary( fun )

Parameters: This method takes a single parameter as listed above and discussed below.

  • fun: This is the given function.

Return Value: This method returns a new function.

Note: To execute the below examples, you have to install the lodash-contrib library by using this command prompt and execute the following command.

npm install lodash-contrib

Example 1: 

Javascript




// Defining lodash contrib variable
var _ = require('lodash-contrib'); 
  
// Function
function fun(){
    return arguments;
}
  
// Making quaternary function
var gfgFunc = _.quaternary(fun);
  
console.log("Arguments are :", gfgFunc(
    "first", "second", "third", "fourth"));


Output:

Arguments are : [Arguments] {
  '0': 'first',
  '1': 'second',
  '2': 'third',
  '3': 'fourth'
}

Example 2:

Javascript




// Defining lodash contrib variable
var _ = require('lodash-contrib'); 
  
// Function
function fun(){
    return arguments;
}
  
// Making quaternary function
var gfgFunc = _.quaternary(fun);
  
// Rest arguments are excluded
console.log("Arguments are :", gfgFunc(
    "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"));


Output: 

Arguments are : [Arguments] 
  { '0': 'a', '1': 'b', '2': 'c', '3': 'd' }

Example 3: In this example, we will add arguments but only the first 4 arguments will be using this method.

Javascript




// Defining lodash contrib variable
var _ = require('lodash-contrib'); 
  
// Function
function add(){
    s = 0
    for(i = 0; i < 4; i++){
        s += arguments[i]
    }
    return s;
}
  
// Making quaternary function
var gfgFunc = _.quaternary(add);
  
// Rest arguments are excluded
console.log("Sum of first 4 arguments is :",
    gfgFunc(100, 100, 100, 100, 100));


Output: 

Sum of first 4 arguments is : 400
