Using Closures Instead of Classes

Explore how to implement closures instead of classes for creating number formatter functions in Python. Understand when closures provide a simpler, more elegant solution, especially if your class would only have one method and parameters set once. This lesson helps you compare both approaches and decide the best fit for your code.

We'll cover the following...

Number formatter

For the final example, we will look at a simple number formatter. We want a formatter that can convert a floating-point number to a string, with a fixed number of decimal places.
