Lambda functions

(Work in progress)

We are getting functional!

add = lambda x , y : x + y
# a more concise way to write 
# def add (x, y): 
#    x + y

print(add(8,5))
# 13

def double(x):
    return x*2

sequence = [1, 3, 5, 9] 
doubled = [double(x) for x in sequence]
doubled2 = list(map(double, sequence))

print(doubled)
# [2, 6, 10, 18]
print(doubled2)
# [2, 6, 10, 18]
