;Task:
Create a list of ten functions, in the simplest manner possible (anonymous functions are encouraged), such that the function at index '' i '' (you may choose to start '' i '' from either '''0''' or '''1'''), when run, should return the square of the index, that is, '' i '' 2.
Display the result of running any but the last function, to demonstrate that the function indeed remembers its value.
;Goal:
Demonstrate how to create a series of independent closures based on the same template but maintain separate copies of the variable closed over.
In imperative languages, one would generally use a loop with a mutable counter variable.
For each function to maintain the correct number, it has to capture the ''value'' of the variable at the time it was created, rather than just a reference to the variable, which would have a different value by the time the function was run.
