Introduction

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

Example


# Add 10 to argument a, and return the result:
x = lambda a : a + 10
print(x(5))

# Multiply argument a with argument b and return the result:
x = lambda a, b : a * b
print(x(5, 6))

#Summarize argument a, b, and c and return the result:

x = lambda a, b, c : a + b + c
print(x(5, 6, 2))


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

mydoubler = myfunc(2)
mytripler = myfunc(3)

print(mydoubler(11))
print(mytripler(11))
