Question: During function application, if the argument of the function is a lambda expression, what will the anonymous lambda expression point to? Is it pointing to the program frame or the frame consisting binding of parameter? Piazza: https://piazza.com/class/kas136yscf8605?cid=575

Answer: The resulting function object will point to the frame in which the lambda expression was evaluated in, because the function sub-expression and argument sub-expressions are evaluated first before the function is applied to the arguments.
