The advantage of the lambda Operator can be seen in combination with the map-Function.
r = map(func, seq)
map applies the function func on all the elements of the sequence seq.
def fahrenheit(T):
return ((float(9)/5)*T + 32)
def celsius(T):
return (float(5)/9)*(T-32)
temp = (36.5, 37, 37.5,39)
F = map(fahrenheit, temp)
C = map(celsius, F)
