What are the differences between lambda functions and regular functions?

What are the differences between lambda functions and regular functions?

Lambda functions are anonymous and defined using the lambda keyword, while regular functions are defined using def.

Can you give me an example of each?

Sure! A lambda function could be lambda x: x + 1, while a regular function would be:

def add_one(x):
    return x + 1

When should I use lambda functions?

Use lambda functions for short, throwaway functions, especially when passing them as arguments to higher-order functions.

Are there any limitations to lambda functions?

Yes, lambda functions can only contain a single expression and cannot include statements or annotations.
