JavaScript Functions Functions are an integral part of many programming languages, and JavaScript is not an exception. In JavaScript, functions are the first-class citizens. You create them, assign them as a value, pass them as arguments to other fun...

This is such a well explained article on HoF, thank you for the explanation

Thank you very much ✨

I'm still not seeing the difference between the first example and last example. The last being a callback with explanation saying it's not the same thing....but the very first example of a HoF is literally the same thing.

Hey Spencer Cooper, could you please be a little more precise with what you meant by the first and last examples. Indeed, I'll try my best to clarify your doubts with answers. Cheers.

Thank you, Zahab. Glad you enjoyed it.

This was an incredible article on HoFs, Tapas! I appreciated how you broke it down sequentially and all the examples you used. I have one question, what is 'pad' short for? (This was the parameter for number that you want to increament or decerement)

Thanks, Annie! Glad you liked it.

Ah, pad is probably not that intuitive 😀. I meant it for padding. Kind of offset by which we want to increment and decrement. It surely deserves a better name...hehe 😀.

Pretty good explanation!

Thanks for the explanation, Tapas.

My pleasure, Kaushal
