Can you give me an example of a lambda expression?

Of course! In Python, a simple lambda expression could be lambda x: x * 2, which doubles the input value.

Where are lambda expressions commonly used?

They're commonly used in functional programming, for operations like filtering, mapping, and reducing collections.
