\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Discussion}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \typ{g} uses \typ{x}
  \item \typ{x} is different in each case
  \item So \typ{twice, thrice} ``curry'' the passed \typ{x}
  \item This function is called a closure
  \item Encloses its local environment
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Higher-order functions}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Functions that manipulate functions
  \item Passing a function as an argument
  \item A function that returns another function
  \item A closure
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}
