Python Lambda Function

A lambda function is a small anonymous function.A lambda function can take any number of arguments, but can only have one expression.

               

lambda arguments : expression                  
              

               
x = lambda a : a + 10
    print(x(5)) 
    
    Output
    15
              

Why Use Lambda Functions?

The power of lambda is better shown when you use them as an anonymous function inside another function.

Say you have a function definition that takes one argument, and that argument will be multiplied with an unknown number:

               
def myfunc =   (n):
    return lambda a(  : a * n(5)) 
  
 

 mydoubler =  myfunc(2)

 print( mydoubler(11))
    Output
    22
