Nested Functions An under-utiilzed but interesting use of functions are as nested functions, functions that are essentially not global but privately embedded within another function. Sure you can have functions declared as private, but that will only protected the function from being accessed by another class. Protected from external access, nested functions can be called and used by their enclosing […]
