When should I use closures instead of callbacks?

Closures are useful when you need to maintain state or encapsulate variables, while callbacks are better for asynchronous operations.

Can you give me an example of a closure?

Sure! A closure can be created when a function is defined inside another function, allowing it to access the outer function's variables.

What about callbacks? How do they work?

Callbacks are functions passed as arguments to other functions, executed after a certain event or operation completes.

So, should I always prefer closures over callbacks?

Not necessarily. It depends on the use case. Use closures for state management and callbacks for handling asynchronous tasks.
