Alternative to eval

An alternative to eval is Function. Just like eval, Function takes some expression as a string for execution, except, rather than outputting the result directly, it returns an anonymous function to you that you can call.

Sounds interesting. Can you give an example?

@ondoho. All JennyKara posted until now on LQ was copy-pasted verbatim from somewhere else. The post above is no exception.

Thanks for the info.
