What are lambda functions in Python?

Can you explain what lambda functions are in Python?

Sure! Lambda functions in Python are small anonymous functions defined with the keyword 'lambda'. They can take any number of arguments but only have one expression.

What are some use cases for lambda functions?

Lambda functions are often used for short, throwaway functions, especially in functional programming contexts like map(), filter(), and reduce().

Can you give me an example of a lambda function?

Of course! Here's a simple example: add = lambda x, y: x + y. You can use it like this: add(2, 3) which will return 5.

Are there any limitations to using lambda functions?

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