OK. I've been following this topic.

What is the expected output of the following snippet if the function
returned by get_function is a closure?

k = 0;

function n(x)
   k = k + 1;
   return x + 10;
end

function get_function(x, y)
     return
	     function (y)
		    z = n(x);
		 end;
end

f = get_function(100, 100);

f(100);
f(110);

print ("n called " .. k .. " times");
