I'm reading this page:
http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~duchier/python/continuations.html
and I've found a strange usage of lambda:
####################
Now, CPS would transform the baz function above into:
def baz(x,y,c):
mul(2,x,lambda v,y=y,c=c: add(v,y,c))
###################
What does "y=y" and "c=c" mean in the lambda function?
I thought it bounds the outer variables, so I experimented a little
bit:
#################
x = 3
y = lambda x=x : x+10
print y(2)
##################
It prints 12, so it doesn't bind the variable in the outer scope.
