In the section on functions, we mentioned that function parameters are lexically scoped. It is also possible to use lexically-scoped variables directly. For example, in order to avoid interfering with a global instance of i, the following scoping syntax can be used:

In mathematics the counterpart to higher order functions are functionals (mapping functions to scalars) and function operators (mapping functions to functions). Typical functionals are the limit of a sequence, or the integral of an interval of a function.

Higher-order functions are functions that take other functions as arguments. We have already met some of them, such as map, so there isn't anything really frightening or unfamiliar about them. They offer a form of abstraction that is unique to the functional programming style.

CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles): C and C++ allow passing functions as arguments to other functions in the form of function pointers. However, since function pointers can refer only to existing functions declared at global or file scope, these function arguments cannot capture local environments.
