[v3] Implement new Concept Exercise: `Higher-order functions`
This issue describes how to implement the Higher-order functions concept exercise for the Clojure track.
Getting started
Please please please read the docs before starting. Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism's maintainers' time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read up on the following documents:
Please also watch the following video:
Goal
The goal of this exercise is to teach the student how to use higher-order functions in Clojure.
It can be a simple port of elyses-transformative-enchantments from the JavaScript Track.
Learning objectives
The student will gain a general understanding of:
- First Class Functions
- Functions that take one or more functions as arguments
- Functions that return a function as its result
Out of scope
- This is a general overview of the concept, not in-depth usage of specific functions.
