Introduction:

A lambda function can take any number of arguments, but can only have one expression.

Example 1:

A lambda function that adds 5to the number passed in as an argument, and prints the result:

newLam = lambda x: x+ 5
print(newLam(5))

output — 10

Example 2:

A lambda function that multiplies argument X with argument Y and prints the result:

newLam = lambda x, y: x* y
print(newLam(5, 5))

output — 25 (5 * 5)

Example 3:

A lambda function that sums argument a, b, and c and prints the result:

x = lambda a, b, c : a + b + c
print(x(5, 6, 2))

output — 13
