Python Anonymous/Lambda Function

 Anonymous function is a function that is defined without a name.

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

 Syntax of Lambda Function


 lambda arguments: expression

 Lambda functions can have any number of arguments but only one expression. The expression is
evaluated and returned. The main purpose of anonymous function is just for instant use(i.e for
one time usage)

 Sometimes we can pass function as argument to another function. In such cases lambda
functions are best choice.

 In Python, we generally use it as an argument to a higher-order function.

Python Anonymous/Lambda Function--uses
We can use lambda functions very commonly with filter(), map() and reduce() functions, because
these functions expect function as argument.

Syntax :

map(function, sequence)

filter(function, sequence)

reduce(function, sequence)

# Program to double each item in a list using map()

my_list = [1, 5, 4, 6, 8, 11, 3, 12]


new_list = list(map(lambda x: x * 2 , my_list))

# Output: [2, 10, 8, 12, 16, 22, 6, 24]


print(new_list)

Python Anonymous/Lambda-Filter Function
 The filter() function in Python takes two arguments:

 Function
 Sequence 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.

# using reduce to compute sum of list


print ("The sum of the list elements is : ",end="")
