Partial application lets you create highly abstract functions and make them more specific for use, pass a function arguments without calling it yet, and so much more. #tuple#sort

http://wla.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/fa11/lectures/streams.html In this chapter, we continue our discussion of real-world applications by developing new tools to process #sequential#data. In Chapter 2, we introduced a sequence interface, implemented in Python by built-in data types such as #tuple and #list. #Sequences supported two operations: querying their length and accessing an element by index. In Chapter 3, we developed a user-defined implementations of the sequence interface, the Rlist class for representing recursive lists. These sequence types proved effective for representing and accessing a wide variety of sequential #datasets.
