In mathematicsthese are also known as operators or functionals. The derivative incalculus is a common example, since it maps a function to anotherfunction.In the untyped lambda calculus, all functions are higher-order;in a typed lambda calculus, from which most functional programminglanguages are derived, higher-order functions are generally those withtypes containing more than one arrow. In functional programminghigher-order functions that return other functions are said to becurried.The map function found in many functional programming languagesis one example of a higher-order function. It takes as arguments afunction f and a list of elements, and as result, returns a new listwith f applied to each element from the list. …
