Use of Lambda Function in python
We use lambda functions when we require a nameless function for a short period of time.
In Python, we generally use it as an argument to a higher-order function (a function that takes in other functions as arguments). Lambda functions are used along with built-in functions like filter()
, map()
etc.
Example use with filter()
The filter()
function in Python takes in a function and a list as arguments.
The function is called with all the items in the list and a new list is returned which contains items for which the function evaluates to True
.
Here is an example use of filter()
function to filter out only even numbers from a list.
Example use with map()
The map()
function in Python takes in a function and a list.
The function is called with all the items in the list and a new list is returned which contains items returned by that function for each item.
Here is an example use of map()
function to double all the items in a list.
