how python lambda function works code example

Example 1: what is lambda in python

Lamda is just one line anonymous function
Useful when writing function inside function
it can take multiple arguments but computes only one expression

Syntax:
   x = lambda arguments : expression

Example 2: lambda in python

#lambda can be also used for adding string 
>>> full_name = lambda first, last: f'Full name: {first.title()} {last.title()}'
>>> full_name('guido', 'van rossum')
'Full name: Guido Van Rossum'

Example 3: lambda function in python

>>> def identity(x):
...     return x

These two functions do the same thing

>>> lambda x: x
