2,276 PointsClarification on the language and flow of the example within this video?
The examples illustrating how proc and lambda returns differ and how their flow varies really confused me here;
Video states, "while if you use a lambda it will return only from the lambda," ....so one expects the return to be what is inside the lambda's argument ("returning from lambda inside method") but instead goes on to exit the lambda and return the method's return.
This is super confusing and should be updated for viewers.
I saw something that speaks to this but the response didn't seem definitive: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/procs-and-lambdas
Further clarification anybody? Maybe some details into what is actually happening?
Thanks!
