Lambda Functions in Python – How to Use Lambdas with Map, Filter, and Reduce
Lambda functions, also known as anonymous functions, are a powerful feature in Python that allow you to define small, one-line functions on the fly without needing to formally define a function using the def keyword. They are particularly useful when you need a simple function for a short period of time or in situations where a regular function definition would be cumbersome. In this blog post, we will explore lambda functions in Python, how to use them effectively with built-in functions like map, filter, and reduce, and delve into practical examples to solidify your understanding.
