[Cs3] CSIII - Question about bind.

[Mikhail Nesterenko]

> 
> I am writing this email to ask for some clarification regarding the bind function. According to the slides, bind is a specialized function that creates a function by assigning (binding) a value of parameter of another function. However, upon reading the documentation of bind from these two C++ documentation websites:
> 
> https://cplusplus.com/reference/functional/bind/
> https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/bind
> 
> It is stated that bind returns a functor which is based on the input callable object(function ptr, functor, lambda), and the other supplied arguments.

As per https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/bind

binds accepts a callable object (functon ptr, etc) as the first
argument and returns a function object of unspecified type.

> Or is the definition in the slides correct but just doesn't mention the functor part?
