Parameters: This method takes a single parameter as listed above and discussed below.
- fun: This is the given function.
Return Value: It returns a new function.
Note: To execute the below examples, you have to install the underscore-contrib library by using this command prompt and execute the following command.
npm install underscore-contrib
Example 1:Â
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' );Â Â Â // Function function fun(){ Â Â Â Â var mul = 1; Â Â Â Â Â for ( var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) { Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â mul = mul * arguments[i]; Â Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â Â return mul; } Â Â var gfgFunc = _.binary(fun); Â Â console.log( "Multiplication is :" , Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â gfgFunc(2,3)); |
Output:
Multiplication is : 6
Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' );   // Function function fun() {     var mul = 1;      for ( var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {          mul = mul * arguments[i];      }      return mul; }   var gfgFunc = _.binary(fun);   // Only operates for first two parameters console.log( "Multiplication is :" ,         gfgFunc(2,23,2,2)); |
Output:Â
Multiplication is : 46
Example 3:
Javascript
// Defining underscore contrib variable var _ = require( 'underscore-contrib' );Â Â Â // Function function fun() { Â Â Â Â return arguments; } Â Â var gfgFunc = _.binary(fun); Â Â // Only first two parameters will // be used as arguments console.log( "Binary Arguments are :" , Â Â Â Â gfgFunc( "a" , "b" , "c" , "d" , "e" )); |
Output:Â
Binary Arguments are : [Arguments] { '0': 'a', '1': 'b' }
