# Lambdas / Anonymous functions
## Anonymous function
```thp
fun(Int x, Int y) -> Int {
x + y
}
numbers.map(fun(x) {
x * 2
})
```
## Closure types
By default closures **always** capture variables as **references**.
```thp
var x = 20
val f = fun() {
print(x)
}
f() // 20
x = 30
f() // 30
```
You can force a closure to capture variables by value.
```thp
fun(parameters) clone(variables) {
// code
}
```
```thp
var x = 20
val f = fun() clone(x) {
print(x)
}
f() // 20
x = 30
f() // 20
```
## Lambdas
Lambdas are a short form of anonymous functions. They are declared with `#{}`.
Inside the lambda you can access the parameters as `$1`, `$2`, etc.
Finally, lambdas be written outside of the parenthesis of function calls.
```thp
numbers.map() #{
$1 * 2
}
// the above lambda is equivalent to:
numbers.map(fun(param1) {
$1 * 2
})
```
