What is meant by lambda function in python?

Question

Krishnapriya Rajeev · Answer

and In Python, a lambda function is a nameless function that can have arguments of any number. It is defined with a single expression that is evaluated and the result returned when the function is called.
Syntax:
lambda arguments: expression
Example:
x = lambda a : a + 15and  //adding 15 to argument a and returning result
print(x(5))
#OUTPUT: 20
and 
Lambda functions are used when a small function is needed temporarily, and defining a complete function is not necessary. They are also useful as arguments for higher-order functions like
map(), filter(), and reduce(). The lambda function takes a list of arguments separated by commas, and the expression is the code that gets executed when the function is called.
For example, here is a lambda function that takes two arguments and returns their sum:
and 
add = lambda x, y: x + y
This lambda function can be called like any other function:
and 
print(add(2, 3))
#OUTPUT: 5
