Editing Oz (programming language) (section)

====Anonymous functions====
Like many other functional languages, Oz supports use of [[anonymous function]]s (i.e. functions which do not have a name) with higher order programming.  The symbol $ is used to denote these.

In the following, the square function is defined anonymously and passed, causing <code>[1 4 9]</code> to be browsed.
<syntaxhighlight lang="erlang">
{Browse {Map fun {$ N} N*N end [1 2 3]}} 
</syntaxhighlight>

Since anonymous functions don't have names, it is not possible to define recursive anonymous functions.
