functools.reduce function vs map function what is the difference

Answer 1

HonFu By any chance one of them was supposed to be reduce?

Answer 2

Map applies a function on every item of an iterable.

Map applies a function on *pairs* of items in an iterable, always returning only one, until only a final value is left.

So... totally different thing. 😉

Answer 3

Lord Krishna, now that you say it, the name does seem to suggest that. ;-)
