+## Callable
+
+In PHP there is a concept of [callable](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php).
+
+Those can take multiple forms, but we will focus on [anonymous functions](https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php).
+
+It is possible to create an anonymous function in a variable and call it with parameters:
+
+```php
+$double = function ($number) {
+    return $number * 2;
+}
+
+$double(2); // returns 4
+$double(4); // returns 8
+```

+# Instructions
+
+Implement basic list operations.
+
+In functional languages list operations like `length`, `map`, and `reduce` are very common.
+Implement a series of basic list operations, without using existing functions.
+
+The precise number and names of the operations to be implemented will be track dependent to avoid conflicts with existing names, but the general operations you will implement include:
+
+- `append` (_given two lists, add all items in the second list to the end of the first list_);
+- `concatenate` (_given a series of lists, combine all items in all lists into one flattened list_);
+- `filter` (_given a predicate and a list, return the list of all items for which `predicate(item)` is True_);
+- `length` (_given a list, return the total number of items within it_);
+- `map` (_given a function and a list, return the list of the results of applying `function(item)` on all items_);
+- `foldl` (_given a function, a list, and initial accumulator, fold (reduce) each item into the accumulator from the left_);
+- `foldr` (_given a function, a list, and an initial accumulator, fold (reduce) each item into the accumulator from the right_);
+- `reverse` (_given a list, return a list with all the original items, but in reversed order_).
+
+Note, the ordering in which arguments are passed to the fold functions (`foldl`, `foldr`) is significant.
