What Is A Lambda Function Anyways?

A lambda function is an anonymous function in Python. It starts with the keywordlambda, followed by a comma-separated list of zero or more arguments, followed by the colon and the return expression. For example, lambda x, y, z: x+y+z would calculate the sum of the three argument values x+y+z.
