Create a Multiplier Factory

Summary

Build a closure that captures a multiplier and returns a function to multiply inputs by that value.

Problem statement

Write a function factory make_multiplier(m) that returns a new function. The returned function should accept a single numeric argument x and return x * m. Ensure the multiplier m is captured in the closure so that the returned function continues to use m even after make_multiplier returns. Avoid using global variables.

Task

Implement make_multiplier(m) which returns a function that multiplies its argument by m, reinforcing how closures preserve configuration values.

Examples

Input format

A single expression calling make_multiplier with a number and then calling the returned function with a numeric argument, e.g., make_multiplier(5)(3).

Output format

Return the numeric result of multiplying the argument by the captured multiplier. The test harness compares the string form of the return value.

Constraints

- Implement make_multiplier as a closure (inner function capturing m). - Do not use global variables. - Support integers (and floats) as inputs.
