It is a SyntaxError. You need parentheses for the function print(). So the last line should be: print(z(6)) Other than that the result is 48. Why? First the number 8 is assigned to the variable y. Then lambda defines a function withe the argument x. The function now simply adds the argument and multiplies it with the variable y which is 8. We store this function in a variable. Now we print the output of z with the argument 6. As z contains the function we defined earlier it gets called with the argument 6. So now it calculates x (that what we specified in the last line) times y (which is 8). Output will be 6 * 8. Put simply: • First we have number 8. • We define a function that calculates whatever we specify later as x times 8. • Then we print the output of the function. (It gets called by the variable z) • 6 gets in the place of x and so 6 is multiplied with 8.

the lambda express means a function that takes x as param and return x*y as result

48: 6 will be pass to lambda and uses as x and then we have x*y which y is 8 so we have x*8 which x is 6 so 6*8= 48
