Lambda is an expression, that returns a function. lambdas: -Can only have 1 line of statements, that should end up in 1 single object. -Do not necessarily need to be given a name in declaration. -Can be called straight after declaration. Declaring function with def: def a(x): print(x) Declaring the same function with lambda: a = lambda x: print(x) Calling a lambda function straight after declaration without giving it a name: (lambda: print("Hello"))() print((lambda x: x + x * 8)(7)) #7 + 7 * 8 = 63 You can use as complex calculations as you want in lambda functions, but it must end up in 1 single object, which means that you can only use statements, that return a value. For example basic if statement does not return a value, you can not do: x = (if y: print(z)), because if statement self does not return any values.

If we want to perform an operation squaring the numbers like n*n we have to define a function def and have to create a name. For example, def square(n): result n*n result = square(7) print(result) Output = 49. Here in python we can also create a function without using name . For example, lambda n : n * n We know functions in python are objects. So, f = lambda n : n * n result = f(7) print(result) Output : 49 Hope you understand :)
