Understanding Garbage Collection in Programming

Garbage collection automates memory reclamation, freeing programmers from manual memory deallocation tasks. This process enhances program reliability, reduces errors, and decouples memory management from other software engineering concerns. Originating in LISP in 1960, garbage collection has become

Understanding Closures, Lambda Functions, and Higher-Order Functions in Programming

In programming, closures bind functions and lexical environments, while lambda functions are nameless and used by higher-order functions. Higher-order functions operate by applying other functions, such as map and fold functions. Example implementations in LISP demonstrate how these concepts are uti
