Python Lambda

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

A lambda is a small anonymous function limited to exactly one expression — its real power shows when a normal function returns a lambda closing over an outer argument, letting one function definition generate a whole family of specialized functions (like doubler/tripler). [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• Lambda function — a small anonymous function; can take any number of arguments but only ONE expression. [S1]
• Syntax — lambda arguments : expression. [S1]
• Function-returning-lambda pattern — a normal def function can return a lambda that captures (closes over) the outer function's parameter, producing specialized functions. [S1]
• Common pairing with map(), filter(), sorted() — lambdas are typically used as the throwaway function argument to these built-ins. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

• Lambda-as-function-factory — def myfunc(n): return lambda a: a * n demonstrates using a lambda's closure over n to generate mydoubler = myfunc(2) and mytripler = myfunc(3) from ONE function definition. [S1]
• key= argument idiom — sorted(list, key=lambda x: ...) is the standard way to customize sort order without writing a named function. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

• Basic lambda: x = lambda a : a + 10; print(x(5)). [S1]
• Multi-argument lambda: x = lambda a, b, c : a + b + c. [S1]
• Function factory: def myfunc(n): return lambda a : a * n; mydoubler = myfunc(2); mytripler = myfunc(3). [S1]
• With map(): doubled = list(map(lambda x: x * 2, numbers)). [S1]
• With filter(): odd_numbers = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 != 0, numbers)). [S1]
• With sorted() key: sorted_students = sorted(students, key=lambda x: x[1]) (sort tuples by second element). [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — Sort Lists 챕터의 key= 커스텀 정렬이 여기서 람다로 완성된다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Lambda as a sort key (Python):

students = [("Emil", 25), ("Tobias", 22), ("Linus", 28)]
sorted_students = sorted(students, key=lambda x: x[1])
