Everything about Nested function
Named function defined within a function
In computer programming, a nested function is a named function that is defined within another (enclosing) block and is lexically scoped within the enclosing block – meaning it is only callable by name within the body of the enclosing block and can use identifiers declared in outer blocks, including outer functions. The enclosing block is typically, but not always, another function. Wikipedia →
