Python Functions: map, filter, reduce

The document explains three functions in Python: map(), filter(), and reduce(). map() transforms each element of a sequence using a function, filter() selects elements that meet a condition, and reduce() accumulates a result by repeatedly applying a function. Each function is illustrated with examples demonstrating their usage with lists of numbers.

1.

map()

Purpose: Transform each element of a sequence using a function.

Input: function + iterable

Output: new iterable (with the same length, transformed values)

Example: Square every number in a list

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

squared = list(map(lambda x: x**2, numbers))

print(squared) # [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

🔹 2. filter()

Purpose: Select elements from a sequence that satisfy a condition.

Input: function (returns True/False) + iterable

Output: new iterable (with fewer or equal elements)

Example: Keep only even numbers

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
evens = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, numbers))

print(evens) # [2, 4]

🔹 3. reduce()

Purpose: Repeatedly apply a function to accumulate a result.

Input: function (with two arguments) + iterable

Output: single value

Example: Find the product of all numbers

from functools import reduce

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

product = reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, numbers)

print(product) # 120
