Array As List, Operation&lamda Function in Python

A lambda function is a small anonymous function that can take any number of arguments but can only have one expression. The syntax is lambda arguments: expression. Lambda functions are often used as anonymous functions inside other functions. Python lists can be used like arrays and have various built-in methods for adding, removing, and manipulating elements.

Python Lambda

A lambda function is a small anonymous function.

A lambda function can take any number of arguments, but can only have one expression.

Syntax

lambda arguments : expression

The expression is executed and the result is returned:

ExampleGet your own Python Server

Add 10 to argument a, and return the result:

x = lambda a : a + 10

print(x(5))

Lambda functions can take any number of arguments:

Example

Multiply argument a with argument b and return the result:

x = lambda a, b : a * b

print(x(5, 6))

Example

Summarize argument a, b, and c and return the result:

x = lambda a, b, c : a + b + c

print(x(5, 6, 2))

The power of lambda is better shown when you use them as an anonymous function inside
another function.

Say you have a function definition that takes one argument, and that argument will be multiplied
with an unknown number:
Examp1

def myfunc(n):

return lambda a : a * n

mydoubler = myfunc(2)

print(mydoubler(11))

Output:22

Exampl2:

def myfunc(n):

return lambda a : a * n

mydoubler = myfunc(2)

mytripler = myfunc(3)

print(mydoubler(11))

print(mytripler(11))

Output:22

33

Array used as List

cars = ["Ford", "Volvo", "BMW"]

for x in cars:

print(x)

Output:-

Ford

Volvo

BMW
Adding Array Elements

You can use the append() method to add an element to an array.

cars = ["Ford", "Volvo", "BMW"]

cars.append("Honda")

print(cars)

Output:-

['Ford', 'Volvo', 'BMW', 'Honda']

Removing Array Elements

You can use the pop() method to remove an element from the array.

cars = ["Ford", "Volvo", "BMW"]

cars.pop(1)

print(cars)

Output:-['Ford', 'BMW']

You can also use the remove() method to remove an element from the array.

cars = ["Ford", "Volvo", "BMW"]

cars.remove("Volvo")

print(cars)

Output:-

['Ford', 'BMW']

Note: The list's remove() method only removes the first occurrence of the specified value.

Python has a set of built-in methods that you can use on lists/arrays.

Method Description
append() Adds an element at the end of the list

clear() Removes all the elements from the list

copy() Returns a copy of the list

count()Returns the number of elements with the specified value

extend() Add the elements of a list (or any iterable), to the end of the current list

index() Returns the index of the first element with the specified value

insert()Adds an element at the specified position

pop() Removes the element at the specified position

remove() Removes the first item with the specified value

reverse() Reverses the order of the list

sort() Sorts the list

Note: Python does not have built-in support for Arrays, but Python Lists can be used instead.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

fruits.append("orange")

print(fruits)

['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange']

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

fruits.clear()

print(fruits)

Output-[]

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange']

x = fruits.copy()

Output:-

['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']


fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

x = fruits.count("cherry")

print(x)

Output:-1

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

cars = ['Ford', 'BMW', 'Volvo']

fruits.extend(cars)

print(fruits)

Output-

['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'Ford', 'BMW']

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

x = fruits.index("cherry")

print(x)

Output

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

fruits.insert(1, "orange")

print(fruits)

Output

['apple', 'orange', 'banana', 'cherry']


fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

fruits.pop(1)

print(fruits)

Output-

['apple', 'cherry']

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

fruits.remove("banana")

print(fruits)

Output-

['apple', 'cherry']

fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

fruits.reverse()

print(fruits)

Output-

['cherry', 'banana', 'apple']

cars = ['Ford', 'BMW', 'Volvo']

cars.sort()

print(cars)

Output-

['BMW', 'Ford', 'Volvo']
