Reading Time: 3 minutes High order function (Higher level function) is a function which accepts function as a parameter, returns a function and it can do both. We can pass a function instead of passing Int, String, or other data types as a parameter in a function. Lambdas Expressions Lambdas Expressions are essentially anonymous functions that we can treat as values , for example -pass lambda expressions as arguments to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Introduction: Some functions are called higher-ordered functions as they accept functions as parameters. You can also have a higher-order function as one that returns the functions. So basically, if there is a function that deals with a function, is kind of a meta-level, we call it higher order. Why do we use higher order functions..?? Because we want to be able to reuse our code Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Overview In this blog, we’ll understand the concept of higher order function in Scala. Also, we’ll learn about some of the most commonly used higher order functions in Scala. Higher Order Function A function is said to be a Higher Order Function if it can take another function as an argument or returns a function as its result. This is possible because of the fact Continue Reading

Before moving ahead, I want to clarify that the fold method is just a wrapper to foldLeft, i.e. the fold method internally invokes the foldLeft method. So, now let’s get started. Continue Reading
