Higher Order Function:
Higher-order function is a function that accepts another function as an argument or returns a
function as a return value or both.
const firstOrderFunc = () => console.log ('Hello, I am a First order function');
const higherOrder = ReturnFirstOrderFunc => ReturnFirstOrderFunc();
higherOrder(firstOrderFunc);

First Order Function:

First-order function is a function that doesn’t accept another function as an argument and
doesn’t return a function as its return value.
const firstOrder = () => console.log ('I am a first order function!');
