are lambda fundtion difficult to learn in python ?4

ChatGPT
Lambda functions in Python aren't inherently difficult to learn, but they might feel a bit unfamiliar if you're new to functional programming concep
They're known for their simplicity and usefulness in certain scenarios, especially for creating short, anonymous functions.
The basic syntax of a lambda function in Python is:
python Cop

lambda arguments: expression

For example:
python Cop

add = lambda x, y: x + y
print(add(2, 3)) # Output: 5

Lambda functions are commonly used in situations where you need a simple function for a short period without defining a formal function using d
They're frequently used in functions like map(), filter(), or sorted() where a small, one-time function is required.
Getting comfortable with lambda functions often involves practice and understanding where they are most useful. Once you grasp their simplicity
become a handy tool in your Python toolkit.
