Map question

Question

def a(x):
return x+5
nums=[11,22,33,44,55]
b = map(a,nums)
print(b)

>>> <map=0×010BA510>

What's that output??

Answer 1

No problem.

Explanation:
Because map is not a simple dictionary, list or anything like that, it cannot be displayed.
When you try to print an object that is not any of those base types, it calls the __repr__ method, which is by default <fn=addres-in-memory>, but can also be overridden if necesarry.

Answer 2

yeah, but the thing is a() is a function and map is a tuple...having an unusable/unused function in a tuple could explain that output

Answer 3

@DefaltSimon Thanks, but what I mean is what <map=0×010AB510> is?
Can anyone tell me plz?

Answer 4

The reason this is happening is because you need to iterate over the list.

A simple list(map(a, nums)) should also work.

Answer 5

add list()
