Erlang: Funs (Part 2).
Here we briefly discuss scoping rules in Erlang and then quickly move to learning closures. I demonstrate how closures are a key to creating your own types and how functions are really data. We create our own type called Pair and then utilize it to create unidirectional linked lists. We conclude this article by implementing the quick sort algorithm.
