What is map function in python?

Question

Can anyone explain the map function in python?

Answer 1

Map function returns the map object after applying the function on all the elements of the set of values stored in the list, tuple, etc.

Syntax:

Map (function, list or tuple)

Example:

# Return square of n

def addition(n):

                return n*n

  

# We double all numbers using map()

numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4)

result = map(addition, numbers)

print(list(result))

Output:

[1, 4, 9, 16]
