&lt;p&gt;Welcome back, intrepid Swift explorer! In our previous chapters, we&amp;rsquo;ve mastered functions – those reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks. Now, get ready to meet their even more flexible and powerful cousins: &lt;strong&gt;closures&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Think of a closure as a self-contained block of functionality that can be passed around and used in your code. They are essentially functions without a name, or rather, functions that can be stored in a variable, passed as an argument to another function, or returned from a function. If you&amp;rsquo;ve encountered lambda expressions in other languages, you&amp;rsquo;re already on the right track!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
