Functional Programming

Functional programming is a style of programming that emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands.

Common functional methods in Python

1. Lambda function
2. map() function
3. reduce function
4. filter() function

Let’s understand them one by one.

Lambda function

An anonymous, in-lined function with lambda.

The parameters of the lambda are defined to the left of the colon. The functional body is defined to the right of the colon.

Map Function

Map takes a function and a collection of items.

It makes a new, empty collection, runs the function on each item in the original collection and inserts each return value into the new collection.

Reduce Function

Reduce takes a function and a collection of items. It returns a value that is created by combining the items.

Filter Function

Filter takes a function and a collection.

It returns a collection of every item for which the function returned True.
