Lambda, Map, and Filter in Python

Lambda: Lambda functions are known as the anonymous functions in Python. This kind of functions are declared without any name.

• Can accept any number of argument. 
• Restricted to only a single expression. 
• Used only one-time.
• Lambda function is used when you need a function for a short period of time. 

Basic syntax: 

lambda arguments : expression

Example:

Map: Map is a built-in function that takes a function object and iterable list (list/dictionary) as its parameter.
Basic syntax:
map (function_object, iterable_1, iterable_2, ... )

Basic syntax:
filter (function, iterable)
