05 Lambda Functions in Python

A lambda function is a function with just one line of code and no name.

It is a very special type of function in the world of Python because you can use it as a small utility for very agile coding:

# Declaring a normal function for multiplication
def multiply(p1, p2):
    return p1 * p2

# Declaring it now like a one line lambda function
multiply = lambda p1,p2: p1 * p2

👉 Facts:

• Lambda functions have to always be very small.

• Lambda functions can only have one line.

• Lambda functions don't need a return statement (it is assumed that it will return whatever is on that one line).

• Lambda functions can be stored in variables or passed as parameters to another function.

📝 Instructions:

1. Create a variable called is_odd.

2. Assign a lambda function to it that returns True or False if a given number is odd.

💡 Hint

• Here is how you would declare it like a normal function:

# This function returns True if a number is odd
def is_odd(num):
    return num % 2 != 0
