Lambda functions: definition, syntax and example · Lambda Functions in Python

A lambda is a small anonymous function for quick operations.
It can take many arguments but only one expression.
Syntax: `lambda a, b: a + b` — call it directly or store it in a variable.

def add(a, b): return a + b	add = lambda a, b: a + b
Named, many statements	Anonymous, one expression

Do this in your own tools, step by step. Ticks are saved on this device.

Write a regular add function.
Rewrite it as a lambda.
Store it in a variable and call it.

Max expressions?

Keyword?

lambda.

0:00 If we were to do this in a lambda function, we would use the keyword lambda, and after that we would give in the argument, which is A comma B. Then we would use a colon, and we would specify the expression. So, we want to add those arguments together, which is A plus B. Now, you can run this directly by wrapping this around in a print function, or you can store it in a variable like I did here called add, and then you can call this right here.
