title: Are Lambda expressions in C# closures?
body: <p>Are lambda expressions (and to a degree, anonymous functions) closures?</p>
  
  <p>My understanding of closures are that they are functions that are treated as objects, which seems to be an accurate representation of what anonymous functions and Lambda expressions do.</p>
  
  <p>And is it correct to call them closures?  I understand that closures came about (or became popular) due to the lisp dialect, but is it also a general programming term?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any clarification that you can provide!</p>
