  • In the first command, we’re making a prefix function that takes a string as a parameter. It returns another function that also takes a string as a parameter.

  • In the second command, we’re passing Mrs as an argument to the prefix function.

  • In the third command, we’re passing Smith as an argument to mrs function, which will join both strings.

  • In the last command, we’re calling the prefix function by passing both strings at the same time.
