Updated to make the outer function do something to demonstrate the difference. Also renamed functions to make what they're doing easier to follow, and added a couple examples of behavior w/ explanations --- scala.html.markdown | 12 ++++++++---- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/scala.html.markdown b/scala.html.markdown index 5eb94986..e541f4b3 100644 --- a/scala.html.markdown +++ b/scala.html.markdown @@ -253,16 +253,20 @@ weirdSum(2, 4) // => 16 // def that surrounds it. // WARNING: Using return in Scala is error-prone and should be avoided. // It has no effect on anonymous functions.
