In Python, lambda expressions are used to create anonymous functions expressed as a single statement.

\n

Syntax

\n
lambda parameters : expression
\n

A lambda has zero or more comma separated arguments followed by a colon and then the definition of the function.

\n

The body of a lambda function can only be pure expressions. (An expression always resolves to a value.)

\n

Example:

\n
add = lambda a, b : a * b\n\nprint(add(10, 10))\n# 100
\n

lambda a, b : a * b returns the multiplication of its two arguments: a & b.
