How do I use the map function in Python?

The map function in Python applies a given function to all items in an iterable (like a list). You can use it like this: map(function, iterable).

Can you give me an example of using map with a list?

Sure! Here's an example: numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4] and squared = list(map(lambda x: x**2, numbers)) will give you [1, 4, 9, 16].

What if I want to use a regular function instead of a lambda?

You can define a regular function like this: def square(x): return x**2. Then use it with map: squared = list(map(square, numbers)).

Can map handle multiple iterables?

Yes, it can! If you provide multiple iterables, the function must take as many arguments as there are iterables. For example: map(func, iterable1, iterable2).
