Understanding Python's map() Function

The map() function creates a new iterable object by applying a specified function to each element of an existing iterable. It takes a function and an iterable object as arguments, returning a modified list of elements. The process continues until all elements of the iterable have been processed.

=====================================================

2) map()
=====================================================
=>map() is used for obtaining new Iterable object from existing iterable object by
applying old iterable elements to the function.
=>In otherwords, map() is used for obtaining new list of elements from existing
list of elements by applying old list elements to the function.

=>Syntax:- varname=map(FunctionName,Iterable_object)

=>here 'varname' is an object of type <class,map'> and we can convert into any
iteratable object by using type casting functions.
=>"FunctionName" represents either Normal function or anonymous functions.
=>"Iterable_object" represents Sequence, List, set and dict types.
=>The execution process of map() is that " map() sends every element of iterable
object to the specified function, process it and returns the modified value
(result) and new list of elements will be obtained". This process will be continued
until all elements of Iterable_object completed.
