Naive Question? Definition of "Higher Order"The more papers I read, the more I see the term "higher order" applied to seemingly anything. We have HO (high order) programming, HO programming languages, HO functions, HO modules. Those readily come to mind, although I am confident I can find other applications of HO to other terms in computer science. So what *is* the exact meaning of "higher order." Does it have one precise definition? Or maybe one broader, generally applicable definition? Or is the term simply misused? Thanks much.
