Starting with the "named generator method":
def make_counter(init)
lambda { init += 1 }
end
Calling that method creates a new scope, and binds the value of 'init'
within that scope.
Now, you can do the same without def, by wrapping in another lambda:
counter_maker = lambda { |init| lambda { init += 1 } }
c = counter_maker.call(100)
c.call # 101
c.call # 102
And you can do the same without explicitly binding 'counter_maker'
either:
c = lambda { |init| lambda { init += 1 } }.call(200)
c.call # 201
c.call # 202
Is that what you were looking for?
