How does lambda work

Answer 1

Lambda is covered in the tutorial. Can you be a little more specific about which part is troubling you? cause the tutorial gave quite some examples to play with, to help understanding.

Please tag relevant words, e.g. Python lambda, rather than 'not sure' ...

Answer 2

Have a look at this snippet, herein we use lambda to square each number in a list, and filter odd and even numbers. Tell me how much of it you got, and what you haven't ...

numbers = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]

squared_numbers= list( map( lambda n: n ** 2, numbers ) )

odd_numbers = list( filter( lambda n: n % 2, numbers ) )

even_numbers = list( filter( lambda n: not n % 2, numbers ) )

print( 'List of numbers', numbers )
print( 'Square each number', squared_numbers )
print( 'Filter the odd numbers', odd_numbers )
print( 'Filter the even numbers', even_numbers )

Idk how far you've got through with the tutorial, but maps & filter chapter came right after the chapter about lambdas
