Lambda Expression Python | Function

Using Lambda Expression you can create an Anonymous Function in Python. Normal Python functions are created by using the def keyword. But when you want to declare a function anonymously use Python Lambda Expression.

The expression is executed and the result is returned:

lambda arguments : expression

Example Lambda Expression Python

Lambda functions are anonymous or nameless (a function without a name).

You use these functions when:

• To perform a simple operation and,
• Use this function just once.

Simple example code:

Single argument adds, and returns the result:

res = lambda a: a + 10

print(res(10))

Output:

Lambda functions with Multiple arguments

res = lambda a, b: a * b

print(res(5, 7))

Output: 35

Python Lambda Function with List Comprehension

res = [lambda x=x: x * 10 for x in range(1, 11)]

for table in res:
    print(table(), end=', ')

Output:

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100,
