Lambda Functions In Python — Part 1

In python whenever we want to create a function we can use two keywords def and lambda.

We have seen earlier that when we create a function using def we have to name the function. Whereas in lambda functions there is no name for the function or we can say that it is anonymous function. Syntax: lambda arguments : expression

lambda functions are single line, single use or one time use functions.

What if we want to call the lambda function more than once? Is it possible? Because without name how can a function be called? If these are the questions in back of your mind, let us see the next example and get the doubts cleared

We can see that, to use lambda function more than once we have to assign it a reference and pass the inputs using that reference as many times as we want.
