JavasScript High Order Functions

Concept:

Higher-order functions are functions that take other functions as arguments or return functions as their results.

Redux thunk middleware is one of best examples of get a function as parameter and return a new function as output !!! [Please check this repository: here]

Code Example:

// The typical example could be map function calling a function as an argument and do some actions
const doubleup = value => value * 2;
const afterDoubleUp = [1, 2, 3].map(doubleup);

Another example: function return another function:

const sumUp = x => y => x + y;
sumUp(1)(2); // results is: 3

The typical examples of using high order functions are array methods: map, filter and reduce.
