The Wikipedia article on lambda abstractions
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_abstraction">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_abstraction</a>) has a statement that
does not resonate with me:<br>
<blockquote>A lambda abstraction is to a <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming"
title="Functional programming">functional programming</a> language
such as <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_programming_language"
title="Scheme programming language">Scheme</a> what <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-code" title="Pseudo-code">pseudo-code</a>
is to an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_programming"
title="Imperative programming">imperative programming</a> language.<br>
</blockquote>
Does anyone else find this to be a peculiar statement? If you think it
is accurate, could you provide an alternate explanation and/or example
to the one in the article?<br>
