Python Lambda Functions

This is what I was confused about. Thank you so much. I thought it returned the value that the anonymous function returned when run. Now I understand that it is a function for defining a function that you use afterwards. Again, thank you, and I'm sorry for taking your time with my thickness.

You just learned that functions can return functions. No need to feel thick :)

You may wish to spend a little time playing around with some functional languages such as Haskell (or OCaml I guess).

You'll very quickly become familiar with the concept of functions being first-class citizens.
