+// Lambda Expressions (C++11 and above)
+///////////////////////////////////////
+
+// lambdas are a convenient way of defining an anonymous function
+// object right at the location where it is invoked or passed as
+// an argument to a function.
+
+// For example, consider sorting a vector of pairs using the second
+// value of the pair
+
+vector<pair<int, int> > tester;
+tester.push_back(make_pair(3, 6));
+tester.push_back(make_pair(1, 9));
+tester.push_back(make_pair(5, 0));
+
+// Pass a lambda expression as third argument to the sort function
+// sort is from the <algorithm> header
+
+sort(tester.begin(), tester.end(), [](const pair<int, int>& lhs, const pair<int, int>& rhs) {
+ return lhs.second < rhs.second;
+ });
+
+// Notice the syntax of the lambda expression,
+// [] in the lambda is used to "capture" variables
+// The "Capture List" defines what from the outside of the lambda should be available inside the function body and how.
+// It can be either:
+// 1. a value : [x]
+// 2. a reference : [&x]
+// 3. any variable currently in scope by reference [&]
+// 4. same as 3, but by value [=]
+// Example:
+
+vector<int> dog_ids;
+// number_of_dogs = 3;
+for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
+ dog_ids.push_back(i);
+}
+
+int weight[3] = {30, 50, 10};
+
+// Say you want to sort dog_ids according to the dogs' weights
+// So dog_ids should in the end become: [2, 0, 1]
+
+// Here's where lambda expressions come in handy
+
+sort(dog_ids.begin(), dog_ids.end(), [&weight](const int &lhs, const int &rhs) {
+ return weight[lhs] < weight[rhs];
+ });
+// Note we captured "weight" by reference in the above example.
