PRACTICAL 1
Aim: To understand the overall programming architecture using Map Reduce
API.
The MapReduce task is mainly divided into two phases Map Phase and Reduce Phase.
1. map(), filter(), and reduce() in Python.
2. These functions are most commonly used with Lambda function.
1. map():
"A map function executes certain instructions or functionality provided to it on every item of
an iterable."The iterable could be a list, tuple, set, etc.
• SYNTAX:
map(function, iterable)
• Example:
items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
a=list(map((lambda x: x **3), items))
print(a)
• Output:
The map() function passes each element in the list to a lambda function and returns the
mapped object.
2. filter():
"A filter function in Python tests a specific user-defined condition for a function and returns
an iterable for the elements and values that satisfy the condition or, in other words, return
true."
• SYNTAX:
filter(function, iterable)
• Example:
a = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

b = [2,5,0,7,3]
c= list(filter(lambda x: x in a, b))
print(c)
• Output:
3. reduce():
"Reduce functions apply a function to every item of an iterable and gives back a single value
as a resultant".
we have to import the reduce function from functools module using the statement
• SYNTAX:
reduce(function, iterable)
• Example:
from functools import reduce
a=reduce( (lambda x, y: x * y), [1, 2, 3, 4] )
print(a)
• Output:
