hi Dmitri, great post as always. I'd say that a built in function that could replicate your higher order function calculate() is the Array.reduce function.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Dimitri, Brief and to the point article. Btw is there a typo (missing invocation parentheses) below code?

doubles; // [2, 4, 8]
// it should be doubles()

Hi @santi-diazl! Thanks!

You're right, calculate() is similar to array.reduce().

Thanks @me-tasosman! The typo has been fixed.

Thanks @AliN11. Yes, calculate is equivalent to array.reduce.

Hi! Thank you for your work :) I guess, in line "So, in JavaScript a function can be either first-order or high-order" it is better to use "higher-order" definition, not "high-order".

Thanks @ses3332002! You're right about "high-order" — I made a fix.

Hi, Thank you for this great post, the calculator example makes me a little understand what HOF is. Could you give more example about C, return functions from functions? I couldn't figure out what context will use it? Thank you very much.
