Anonymous Methods in Delphi 

As the name suggests, an anonymous method is a procedure or function that does not have a name associated with it. An anonymous method treats a block of code as an entity that can be assigned to a variable or used as a parameter to a method. In addition, an anonymous method can refer to variables and bind values to the variables in the context in which the method is defined. Anonymous methods can be defined and used with simple syntax. They are similar to the construct of closures defined in other languages.
