Key Concepts
Here are some of the key concepts that we've studied in this lesson:

.
The idea of
abstracting an expression into a function
is a powerful one.
Composing a complicated function from simple pieces
is the essence of programming. This is a powerful idea because even a function with a complicated implementation can have a simple interface.
