Lambda is an anonymous function in Python, that can accept any number of arguments, but can only have a single expression. It is generally used in situations requiring an anonymous function for a short time period. Lambda functions can be used in either of the two ways:
- Assigning lambda functions to a variable:
mul = lambda a, b : a * b
print(mul(2, 5)) # output => 10- Wrapping lambda functions inside another function:
def myWrapper(n):
return lambda a : a * n
mulFive = myWrapper(5)
print(mulFive(2)) # output => 10
