Closures are requirement for Currying. |

| ## Closure | ||
|
|
||
| A closure is a way of accessing a variable outside its scope. | ||
| Formally, a closure is a technique for implementing lexically scopped named binding. It is a way of storing a function with an environment. |

Placing this after Currying because I feel they are related and often confused with each other.
