About function literals. Both lambdas and anonymous functions are function literals according to the documentation https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/lambdas.html#instantiating-a-function-type

I am wondering when anonymous functions should be used. I have seen plenty of uses of lambdas in code samples and tutorials but I still have to find some usage for an anonymous function. Where should I use one in place of a lambda, or simply, where should I just use one?

Thanks ❤️

I think the only difference is in the return behavior

I personally haven't found a use case for anonymous functions yet.
