Python LAMBDA FUNCTION?! #python #programming #coding

This video shows a quick illustration of what lambda functions are in Python. These are also referred to as anonymous functions.

Yes, this video is slightly sarcastic. I would never use it to calculate 1+2. I used an extremely trival problem so that I could better demonstrate the syntax of lambda functions.

Lambda functions are just like regular functions, except they make your coworkers hate you.

I swear someday someone is going to figure out a Python one-liner that attains world peace but no one is going to use it because its "not easy to read"

Note : lambda has many use cases, but key places to use lambda are in amp and filter function please learn about map and filter and how to use lambda in them . Very useful !! 😊

[elgatorado]

My professors teaching me Lambda as if I'm not going to just use regular functions anyway

[gottem_]

Damn, I thought it would write the whole Half-Life code for me.

WOAHHH thank you!! Just started learning Python recently and lambda definitely was a weird one to learn for me personally, but this all makes sense now 🙏

[coldenate]

Dude, this is the best use case of short form content…. learning!? Brilliant 👏👏

[hhill]

Using lambdas along with map to perform fast operations on lists is what got me into them

If I see a junior developer do this just know I'm breaking your keyboard

Word of advice, if you are making a video about lambda functions, actually explain its use case instead of just writing 1+2 to show that you can do it like that.

Lambda functions are really important and useful functions which allows us to pass values to other functions by implementing it in a single line. You won't understand its usecase in web programming but it totally make sense in application programming. I always end up using them in my kivy click event code because kivy doesn't let me pass the values directly or passes a reference that I don't need in my listeners. Thus wrapping the listener call with lambda functions helps to keep code compact and understandable.

More python shorts please! This is so helpful

[alkebabish]

Annonymous functions are popular in JavaScript, where they enjoy being wrapped around eachother in an endless web of confusion.

'lambda'
half life 2 flashbacks

[matiasalexannder]

There is no way that you make me understand a concept that took me like 2 hours to parcially understand in just 30 seconds... thanks dude

[TheReesesGuy]

This was so helpful. I have never understood Lambda

[AndrewMycol]

I myself never really understood lambda functions, until I watched this video and it clearly explained it in a concise way with a rather simple example. Very good job!

[apalsnerg]

This was a much more succinct explanation than I've heard elsewhere. Thank you.

[tobennaokoli]

I wasn’t used to lambda functions until I learn JavaScript. And honestly… they make everything so much easier and quicker.

[TheAleBecker]

wow! one of the few programming shorts that is actually useful and very well explained. Good job!
