Lambda, Map, Filter, Reduce Explained

In Python, functional programming techniques like lambda, map(), filter(), and reduce() offer concise and efficient ways to process data. These tools are especially useful for transforming collections such as lists or tuples.

Lambda Functions

A lambda is an anonymous function written in a single line. It allows you to define simple functions without using def.

Example:

python

square = lambda x: x * x

print(square(5))  # Output: 25

Map()

The map() function applies a given function to all items in an iterable (like a list) and returns a new map object.

Example:

python

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4]

squared = list(map(lambda x: x ** 2, nums))

print(squared)  # Output: [1, 4, 9, 16]

Filter()

filter() selects elements from an iterable based on a condition (function returning True or False).

Example:

python

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

even = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, nums))

print(even)  # Output: [2, 4]

Reduce()

reduce() (from functools module) applies a rolling computation to items of an iterable, reducing them to a single value.

Example:

python

from functools import reduce

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4]

product = reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, nums)

print(product)  # Output: 24

Conclusion

These tools help write clean, readable, and efficient Python code. Understanding how to combine them with lists or other iterables can greatly simplify many common tasks.
