6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming Using Python
6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming Using Python (Fall 2022, MIT OCW). Instructor: Dr. Ana Bell. This subject is aimed at students with little to no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, feel justifiably confident in their ability to write simple programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python 3 programming language.

Lecture 08 - Functions as Objects
This lecture further explores functions and their scopes and environments as well as functions as objects. Functions are first-class objects that have a type and can be assigned as a value, used as an argument for another procedure, or returned from another procedure. Being careful about environments enables the creation of concise, easily-read code.
