  2. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier. Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function. [ 1 ]

  3. Lambda lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_lifting

    This definition recognizes a lambda abstraction with an actual parameter as defining a function. Only lambda abstractions without an application are treated as anonymous functions. lambda-named A named function. An expression like (.) where M is lambda free and N is lambda free or an anonymous function.

  4. Closure (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_programming)

    The term closure is often used as a synonym for anonymous function, though strictly, an anonymous function is a function literal without a name, while a closure is an instance of a function, a value, whose non-local variables have been bound either to values or to storage locations (depending on the language; see the lexical environment section below).

  5. Anonymous recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_recursion

    It will not work, however, if passed as an argument to another function, e.g. lapply, inside the anonymous function definition. In this case, sys.function(0) can be used. [8] For example, the code below squares a list recursively:

  6. Fixed-point combinator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

    A function's identity is based on its implementation. A lambda calculus function (or term) is an implementation of a mathematical function. In the lambda calculus there are a number of combinators (implementations) that satisfy the mathematical definition of a fixed-point combinator.

    If control exits the function without a return value having been explicitly specified, the function returns the default value for the return type. Sub Main(««ByVal »args() As String») instructions End Subor Function Main(««ByVal »args() As String») As Integer instructions End Function: Xojo: Python: foo(«parameters») def foo ...

  8. Lazy evaluation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_evaluation

    The Lazy interface with its eval() method is equivalent to the Supplier interface with its get() method in the java.util.function library. [25] [26]: 200 Each class that implements the Lazy interface must provide an eval method, and instances of the class may carry whatever values the method needs to accomplish lazy evaluation.

  9. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...
