The second problem went deeper into the concept of closures. A function has access to any variable declared within its scope as well as any outer scope, which altogether constitute its lexical environment. By having a function that returns another function (a "factory function") this allows you to encapsulate data and can serve as a sort of state for your function. Function closure can achieve many of the same things as classes, but they are stored differently in memory.
