I am new to Erlang. If I do this H = fun(X) -> X*X.

I am new to Erlang. If I do this

H = fun(X) -> X*X.

Then it is fine. But if I move that function to a module, it says “Illegal Expression”. For example this

H = misc_functions:square.

Please help.

    Erlang function references require the keyword fun and the arity. Suppose that square takes a single parameter, the correct assignment is:

    H = fun misc_function:square/1
