Answers:

A Higher-order function is a function that takes a function as an input parameter and returns the modified function.

The name of the function which is taking a function as param is HOF.

// Higher-order function example (function as an argument)

function operateOnNumber(number, operation) {

return operation(number);

}

function square(x) {

return x * x;

}

function double(x) {

return x * 2;

}

console.log(operateOnNumber(5, square)); // Output: 25

console.log(operateOnNumber(3, double)); // Output: 6

let addData=(a,b)=>{

return(a+b);

}

let finalResult=addData(10,20);

console.log(finalResult); //30

</span>
