Now that you’ve completed this step-by-step course, you know how to use Python lambda functions! You are now able to do all of the following:
- Write Python lambdas and use anonymous functions
- Choose wisely between lambdas or normal Python functions
- Avoid excessive use of lambdas
- Use lambdas with higher-order functions or Python key functions
Python lambdas are like salt. A pinch in your spam, ham, and eggs will enhance the flavors, but too much will spoil the dish. If you have a penchant for mathematics, you may have some fun exploring the fascinating world of lambda calculus.
