Lambda in python with example

Lambda:

In the below example you can see two methods have been created and clearly explained to show how Lambda works

friends =  [

    {"name": "Ram", "age":26}, 

    {"name": "Raju", "age":30}

]

#method with for loop 

def findAge(name):

    for friend in friends:

        if(friend["name"] == name):

            return friend

    

    return f"{name} not found"

#method with Lambda expression 

def findAgeLambda(name):

    friend = next(filter(lambda x: x["name"] == name, friends))

    return friend

print(findAge("Ram"))

print(findAgeLambda("Raju"))  

Output:

{'name': 'Ram', 'age': 26}

{'name': 'Raju', 'age': 30}
