Explain this problem

Hello everyone, explain this program

function multiplier(factor) {
  return number => number * factor;
}

let twice = multiplier(9);
console.log(twice(10));
// → 90

Your multiplier function returns a function with one parameter number (it’s your arrow function : the F function below).

So multiplier(9) returns a function F where factor is 9 then when you call twice(10) you just call this returned function F with number set to 10. This function F returns a number = number * factor = 10 * 9 = 90.
