Python Coding challenge - Day 305| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Explanation:

Defining the lambda function

add = lambda x, y: x + y

lambda is a keyword in Python used to create small, anonymous functions (functions that don't require a name).

The syntax for a lambda function is:

lambda arguments: expression

x, y are the arguments of the lambda function (i.e., the inputs the function takes).

x + y is the expression that the function evaluates and returns. In this case, it adds the two arguments together.

The lambda function takes two arguments, x and y, and returns their sum (x + y).

The function is assigned to the variable add, so you can use add as the name of the function.

Calling the lambda function

result = add(5, 3)

add(5, 3) calls the lambda function with the arguments 5 and 3.

It computes 5 + 3, which is 8.

The result (8) is then assigned to the variable result.

Final Explanation:

The lambda function defines a simple operation that adds two numbers.

When you call add(5, 3), it returns 8, which is stored in the result variable.

Output:

result will have the value 8.

Example of the Output:

print(result)  

Output: 8
