| Chapter 7, "Next Level JavaScript", section "What is a closure" Title "What is a closure" and first paragraph after. |
The title "What is a closure" should have a question mark at the end, as it is a question. |

| 7. Next Level JavaScript -> What is a closure First paragraph of the What is a closure section |
The author describes a closure as "a function wrapped inside an outer function that references the variables in the outer function’s scope...". While closures created by nested functions are where we find the most useful and creative uses of closures, technically every function creates a closure. This is confirmed by David Flanagan, "JavaScript : The Definitive Guide, 7th Edition", in his 8.6 section entitled "Closures" as well as in "Concepts and Semantics of Programming Languages 1", multiple authors, section 3.2.4, "Closures". |
