Because of Lisp's early heritage in list processing, it has a wide array of higher-order functions relating to iteration over sequences.

Similar to traditional FEA, SIMSOLID uses mesh and instead applies higher order functions on a part and CAD geometric feature basis.

Senior defense officials said Friday that it would take a considerable effort to make the 20 aircraft on order function efficiently.
34.
Vygotsky believed that the development of higher order functions are a result of parents, caregivers, peers and the culture at large.
35.
First-class functions are a necessity for the functional programming style, in which the use of higher-order functions is a standard practice.
36.
A combinator is a higher-order function that uses only function application and earlier defined combinators to define a result from its arguments.
37.
:See also map ( higher-order function ) and the even more powerful fold ( higher-order function ), which are features of functional languages.
38.
In calculus, an example of a higher-order function is the differential operator d / dx, which returns the derivative of a function f.
39.
A program is usually said to be functional when it uses some concepts of functional programming, such as first-class functions and higher-order functions.
40.
Since the first-order functions have no side effects, each call is independent from each other and all calls can be done in parallel.
