Anonymous function: Applications, Uses & Overview

In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, lambda function, 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. If the function is only…
