Hi, I’m Sena. I am one of the participants of SistersLab Women in Tech Academy project supported by the Community Volunteers Foundation (https://www.tog.org.tr/en/). The project aims to empower people between the age of 20–28 who identify as woman, through 3 months long software training and supporting trainings to increase their participation in the workforce in the IT sector. You can access detailed information about the project using this link: https://sisterslab.co/women-in-tech-academy/

In this article, I will describe the little-known lambda that works great in python. Lambda functions are an important part of functional programming. Lambda allows you to write throw-away functions without needing to name them.

Syntax of Python Lambda Function

Default Value

“If-else” and “For” using lambda

Filter()

Filter() processes items matching the given expression and returns a new list.

Map()

The map() function in Python takes a function and a list.

I hope this article was helpful.If you want to see more examples, you can follow me on github.
