    Python Data Science Toolbox I: Lambda Functions

    Uploaded by

    Rangapriya Dasan
    This document discusses Python functions including lambda functions, anonymous functions using map(), and error handling using try/except. Lambda functions allow defining small anonymous functions. Map() applies a function to each element of a sequence. Try/except is used to catch and handle errors and exceptions in functions. Specific examples demonstrate passing incorrect argument types to functions, raising custom exceptions, and printing error messages for invalid inputs.

    Lambda functions
    In [1]: raise_to_power = lambda x, y: x ** y

    In [2]: raise_to_power(2, 3)
    Out[2]: 8
    Python Data Science Toolbox I

    Anonymous functions
    ● Function map takes two arguments: map(func, seq)
    ● map() applies the function to ALL elements in the
    sequence

    In [1]: nums = [48, 6, 9, 21, 1]

    In [2]: square_all = map(lambda num: num ** 2, nums)

    In [3]: print(square_all)
    <map object at 0x103e065c0>

    In [4]: print(list(square_all))

    ● Exceptions - caught during execution
    ● Catch exceptions with try-except clause
    ● Runs the code following try
    ● If there’s an exception, run the code following except
