 so you decide to use a function closure to create reusable transformation for `{x, y}` coordinate pairs.

 ## 3. Compose transformation functions
 
-Combine two transformation functions to perform a repeatable transformation. This is often called _function composition_, where the result of the first function _'f(x)'_ is used as the input to the second function _'g(x)'_.

 ## 4. Save the results of functions
 
-Implement the `memoizeTransform` function. It takes a function to _memoize_, then returns a new function that remembers the inputs to the supplied function so that the last return value can be "remembered" and only calculated once if it is called again with the same arguments.
