Higher-Order Functions: Lambda

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of higher-order functions and lambda functions in Python. It starts with an explanation of passing functions as arguments and the use of lambda functions for concise anonymous functions. Examples demonstrate the syntax and utility of lambda functions in combination with higher-order functions. The instructor showcases how lambda functions can simplify code by avoiding the need to define separate functions for one-time use. The lecture concludes by highlighting the practical applications of higher-order functions and lambda expressions, emphasizing their common usage in filtering lists and applying functions to all elements. Students are encouraged to practice these concepts for a better understanding and retention.
