Description

After going through #16; I got into confusion with Higher-Order Functions.

Are Pure Functions and Higher-Order alike? Or they differ?

And Higher-order Components are created by Higher-order functions?

Research direction
The issue asks for clarification on higher order functions vs pure functions and higher order components. The repository is a learning resource for Redux. The answer should be added to the documentation, possibly in a section explaining functional programming concepts. References to issue #16 and existing comments (2 comments) should be considered to avoid duplication.
