HOP Extra Practice Q7

# For this question, you are suppose to create a poly generator function, that would create
# a *function* that when passed in a value x, calculate the polynomial of using the coefficient
# that was used when the function is created.

# In short, we are given this function has already been defined for us:
def poly(coefficient, x):
  # returns the following:
  # (coeff[0] * x^0) + (coeff[1] * x^1) + (coeff[2] * x^2) + ...
  
# and we want to create a function which would create a function that looks like the above, but has fixed
# the coefficient argument of the poly function.

def calculator_generator(coefficient):
  # should return a function that looks like poly, but has the coefficient parameter fixed.

# If you are still stuck, consider this example 
# that we have done before.
################################################
# Assume we have a function:
def multiply(x, y):
  return x*y
  
# Create a function, multipler, such that:
mult2 = multipler(2)
mult2(3)   # prints 6

def multiplier(x):
  # what should this function look like?

# How would you solve this problem?
# If you can solve this problem, could you apply the
# same concept to the earlier problem?
