Rust Closures and lambda expressions Returning lambdas from functions
Example
Returning lambdas (or closures) from functions can be tricky because they implement traits and thus their exact size is rarely known.
// Box in the return type moves the function from the stack to the heap
fn curried_adder(a: i32) -> Box<Fn(i32) -> i32> {
// 'move' applies move semantics to a, so it can outlive this function call
Box::new(move |b| a + b)
}
println!("3 + 4 = {}", curried_adder(3)(4));
This displays: 3 + 4 = 7
