Imagine you're working on a project where you need to process a list of data. You want to apply various transformations and operations, but you don’t want to write the same loops over and over again. Enter higher-order functions: they allow you to create flexible, reusable code that can take other functions as arguments or return them as results.
This powerful concept is a cornerstone of functional programming, enabling you to write cleaner and more maintainable code.
