Example 2: lambda function in python

In Python, an anonymous function is a function that is defined without a name.

While normal functions are defined using the def keyword in Python, 
anonymous functions are defined using the lambda keyword.

Hence, anonymous functions are also called lambda functions.

lambda arguments: expression

# Program to show the use of lambda functions
double = lambda x: x * 2

print(double(5))
