The answer
Use the generic curry function: function curry(fn) { return function curried(...args) { if (args.length >= fn.length) return fn(...args); return (...next) => curried(...args, ...next); }; }. Then const sum = curry((a, b) => a + b).

How would you convert the sum function to a generic curry?

Use rest parameters: function sum(...args) { const total = args.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0); return function(b) { if (b !== undefined) return sum(total + b); return total; }; }.
function sum(n) { const fn = m => sum(n + m); fn.toString = () => n; return fn; }. When JavaScript needs a primitive (like +0 or console.log), it calls toString and returns the accumulated sum.
How would you support multiple arguments (rest params), add other operations (multiply, subtract), make it a generic curry function, and what is the time/space complexity.
