What is the Lambda function?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While working with a complex system we need to divide the complex functions into small Lambda functions. For example, you are working on a complex calculator, one way is to put all the functions inside one function that is called when the user provides input and another way is to divide the function into many python functions<\/a>. We can create separate functions of sum, subtract, divide, and multiplication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the function of the sum below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

def sum(x, y):\n\tresult = x + y\n\treturn result<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The above code takes too much place. We can reduce it to one line code using lambda syntax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The given below is the sum lambda function<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sum = lambda a, b: a + b<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
def sum(x, y):\n\tresult = x + y\n\treturn result\nprint(\"normal function\")\nprint(sum(5, 5))\nprint(\"lambda function\")\nsum = lambda a, b: a + b\nprint(sum(5, 5))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Why the lambda function?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whenever you a function for a shorter time period you can use lambda functions. Lambda functions are usually practiced when you require to pass a function to bigger functions. Some functions take functions as arguments there lambda functions are very useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
