Could we consider sorted as an high order function?
sorted_list = sorted(list_strings, key = str.lower)
No because sorted() returns a list as a result. A higher order function
produces another function as a result, or takes one or more

Yes, there are lots of them All the GUI building functions in
Tkinter that take command arguments are higher order functions
too. And many functions in pro

In the example I gave:
sorted_list = sorted(list_strings, key = str.lower)
sorted takes str.lower as a parameter, doesn't it? So, it should be a high
order function

An example might help. Back in the old days, before Python had a sum()
function, the easiest way to add up a list of numbers was to use reduce
and a small function to add two numbers:
def add(x, y):
return x+y
total = filter(add, [2, 4, 5, 9, 1])
Arh! Of cour
