What language was your class using? There are so many ways to do what the students wanted to do, be it the tertiary function or a lambda function or even, defining a method/function like (Ruby): def foowiz(x, threshold = 5) if x == threshold foo else bar end end And then a call to func(foowiz(x)) would work - even in an OOP language like Ruby. What did the students need to unlearn? In the intro CS class I took an age ago, we had to implement OOP as a final assignment in Dr. Scheme, which is a derivative of LISP that is most assuredly a functional language rather than OOP. That did not mean I had to unlearn how lambdas and tail recursion worked.
