Using Lambda with Map, Filter, and Reduce functions
Lambda functions are usually used in conjunction with the functions like map(), filter(), and reduce(). Let us illustrate their usage.
The map function is used to pass a function to each item in an iterable object and it returns a list containing all the results from the function call. The map function takes the following syntax.
Example:
The filter function is used to extract each element in the iterable object for which the function returns True. In this case, we will define the function using the lambda construct and apply the filter function.
Example:
The reduce function is a unique function which reduces the input list to a single value by calling the function provided as part of the argument. The reduce function by default starts from the first value of the list and passes the current output along the next item from the list.
