What are Python Lambda Functions? They weren’t something I could easily infer from casually seeing it in code or context clues. I had to do a little digging. What I took from my reading, is that they are more concisely written functions.
My Setup
- Python 3.x
- macOS
Example
They make this:
def doSomething(foo):
return foo
Into this:
doSomething = lambda foo:foo
I personally think they’re beautiful which is why I did the bit of research. I’ll have more tell as I incorporate Python Lambda functions into daily use. Happy coding!
