fn is an atomic Clojure topic inside Bindings & Functions. The example below uses the actual construct named by the lesson rather than a generic placeholder.
Focus on what fn changes: the input, binding, control path, object state, collection, runtime effect, or language contract. Then alter one value and verify that the behavior changes for a reason specific to this feature.
Topic-specific example
clojure-02-03-fn.clj
clojure
Try It Live
((fn [x] (* x x)) 6)
Edge case / engineering note
Change the key input in this Clojure example and predict the result first; the named construct should be the reason the behavior changes.
