Mastering JavaScript Functional Programming - Second Edition

Chapter 2, Thinking Functionally – a First Example

2.1. No extra variables: We can make do by using the fn variable itself as a flag. After calling fn(), we set the variable to null. Before calling fn(), we check that it's not null:

const once = fn => {  return (...args) => {    fn && fn(...args);    fn = null;  };};

2.2. Alternating functions: In a manner similar to what we did in the previous question, we call the first function and then switch functions for the next time. Here, we used a destructuring assignment to write the swap in a more compact manner.

const alternator = (fn1, fn2) => { return ...
