let me try to break it down for you. 1. the apply_twice function has two arguments. The first Argument will hold another function. then the second function will hold the number. 2. The return statement in the apply_twice function will call the add_five function twice and pass in a given argument which is a number. 3. The add_five function is defined and it returns the mathematical operation 4. In The print statement it will output the result. In The print statement the apply_twice function is called with the add_five function and a number. in the return statement of the apply_twice function. add_five function is called twice. let me give how the return statement will work return func(arg) # it will be 5+5 => 10 return func(func(arg)) #it will be 10+5 => 15

add_five() wrapped into apply_twice() unrolls into: add_five(add_five(5)) because it follows the pattern: func(func(arg)) func is add_five arg is 5
