Ch01 Ep02: Function as inputs in Scala

An introduction to higher-order functions in Scala, focusing on functions that take other functions as inputs.

Full course available at fp-tower.com/courses/foundations This video is an extract from Foundations of Functional Programming in Scala. Today we are going to focus on functions that take other functions as inputs. The fancy name for this pattern is a "higher-order function", but if you think about it, it is a straight application of what we saw in the Val vs Def lecture youtu.be/mqJ1W6w5ZZM. Since Val functions are ordinary Scala objects, we can use them in the same way we would use a simple Int or String.
