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
