Lambda is an anonymous function in Python, that can accept any number of arguments, but can only have a single expression. It is generally used in situations requiring an anonymous function for a short time period. Lambda functions can be used in either of the two ways:

Assigning lambda functions to a variable:

mul = lambda a, b : a * b

print(mul(2, 5))    # output => 10

Wrapping lambda functions inside another function:

def myWrapper(n):

 return lambda a : a * n

mulFive = myWrapper(5)

print(mulFive(2))    # output => 10
