what is lambda function code example

Example 1: lambda python

add = lambda a, b : a + b
add(3,6) ## 9

Example 2: lambda expressions

A lambda expression is a short block 
of code which takes in parameters
and returns a value. Lambda expressions
are similar to methods, but they do
not need a name and they can be
implemented right in the body of a method.

parameter -> expression

To use more than one parameter, wrap them in parentheses:

(parameter1, parameter2) -> expression

Example
Use a lamba expression in the ArrayList's 
forEach() method to print every item in the list:

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    numbers.add(5);
    numbers.add(9);
    numbers.add(8);
    numbers.add(1);
    numbers.forEach( (n) -> { System.out.println(n); } );
  }
}

Example 3: lambda python

def sumn(n):
  return lambda a: a + n
sum5 = sumn(5)
sum5(3) ## 8

Example 4: lambda function 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 5: whats a lambda

x = lambda a, b, c, d, e, f: a + b + c + d + e + f
print(x(31231, 312, 312, 31, 12, 31))

Example 6: lambda function example

x = lambda a, b : a * b
print(x(5, 6))
