C++11 provides the ability to create anonymous functions, called lambda functions.

In Io there are two ways of creating anonymous functions: methods and blocks.

It's a way of essentially creating hash functions which cannot be mapped out in advance.

They do this to either investigate biology relationships or create new functions.

In C and C++, it is not possible to create new functions at runtime.

Found repeated blocks of code and created classes, functions, or methods to eliminate the repetition.

Extensions that allow users to create new functions can provide the capabilities of a functional language.

Theoretically, there is plenty of room to create new functions for existing genes.

Multidomain proteins are likely to have emerged from a selective pressure during evolution to create new functions.

They are used in creating cryptographic functions such as hashes and ciphers.
