I strangely have an urge to listen and absorb the material in this video. I feel like this is a matter of life and death. And if I don't understand and use lambda function correctly, this world will end.

[@DarrenChang5]

[@BerkaySoyluoglu]

Weirdly same. I wish she was my teacher.

[@asiatavakoli]

So go and learn it asap hahhahah

..and lambda is so much more potent than explained in this video.. hope you use lambda correctly, this world may not end.

Thank you for this amazing job. Just some tips for the next serie... Most of the time, the most important line of code is at the very bottom of the videos. Thus, It is often hidden by the KZbin player, or by the subtitles (if you activate it). A little bit upper would be perfect :)

It was as if I had found a treasure that I had been searching for for a long time. My observation and advice to followers is that this method is one of the methods of explanation in higher education, meaning that every time you watch the video you will discover something new. Really, thank you very much for helping people in the world, and thanks again for the quality of the video, the likes of which I have never seen before.

was just thinking of all the programming channels on youtube, haven't seen a single woman teaching! Then there you are! yay!!!

[@Socratica]

Thank you for your kind comment, Wing! We are a team here at Socratica (both men and women) and we achieve together! Just watched your wonderful channel trailer. I hope everyone watches it and is inspired: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4mXh557o9Wgi7M

[@WingN]

Certainly! It just felt like women seem to be a bit underrepresented in this arena. I'm so flattered that you liked my video, there's lots to improve on, but your encouragement will motivate me to create more in the future. Thank you!!!!!

[@Socratica]

We totally hear you. We're baffled by the under-representation of women in STEM...the other side of the coin is that so far we don't have that many women watching our channel. Hopefully that is slowly changing. We need everybody's brainpower to have a bright future for the world! Keep us posted on how your work goes! :)

[@WingN]

Will do! Thank you for the wonderful videos.

great style of teaching .

[@VintHeXer]

Finaly someone showed me truely magic, rly useful. Usual tutorials about lambda doesn't explain anything (and boring). Thanks

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

So ... what is the point of a Lamda? Seems like you can name it similar to a normal function, so why not simply use a normal function; or you just use it once in which case you don't need a function at all just use standard old inline procedural style code.

[@isaaca3849]

As a person who just started learning the lambda, it seems to act like a placeholder.

[@simonalexanderpfaus8341]

I would think its more concise than regular inline procedural style and doesn't unnecessarily pollute the namespace, if you really are just using it once. Imagine you have two sorting functions - one you only use once and the other all over your code. If you turn the first one into a lambda expression you can simplify the name of the other function (which makes the rest of your code more concise) because you don't have to be afraid of it colliding with your lambda expression.

[@Jbdoster]

[@vladisergeiev7278]

Lambdas are fine but generally should be avoided. Why? By virtue of the fact that they're anonymous, code reuse is impaired, as is caching. I'm making an extreme case here, but lambdas should be thought of as a programmers convenience and not a prescribed way to code.

[@michaeld9682]

I could not have said it better. There is a high probability that I could have said it worse.

[@lxathu]

Yep. As we like short functions, the possibility of lambdas as one-liners is not a real argument. Not anywhere else than at the command prompt.

[@deanwalker3956]

It's like I'm in a mission briefing before the level starts at an FPS video game. Very well done.

[@soupisready619]

Very good presentation, but i do think lambda functions make your code less readable therefore i will not use them. Not trying to make the world better here, but you will receive flag from me whenever i read your code reading these type of functions. They are useless. You can do much better by just writing it out, and give the reader of your code a nice pleasure instead. Believe me, you will feel stupid by making your code look stupid, but your readers will thank you. It will in turn increase software quality and colaboration. Imo do not use this kind of stuff.

[@DanielFenandes]

You need them to be able to program in a functional way. Look for "functional python programming".

[@cyberpilot6512]

SoupIsReady - just another tool in the toolbox, and like many tools can be used in the wrong place for the wrong purpose - she highlighted that they should be used for simple throw away scenarios, the list search is a classic situation where they shine.

[@cazarilmachine]

example of lambda saving the day: Using it to pass variables from a tkinter button into the generic function assigned to its "command" variable. Without Lambda, this would take a great deal of effort. With lambda, it is barely any extra code at all.

[@tripkendall]

I tend to agree, but even if you don't use them you need to be able to read them :) Cheers.

i dont know why, but the thing i am most exited about is that i now know i can get the last element of a list by getting the -1 element.
