Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
map() function returns a map object(which is an iterator) of the results after applying the given function to each item of a given iterable (list, tuple etc.)
Syntax :
map(fun, iter)
Parameters :
fun : It is a function to which map passes each element of given iterable.
iter : It is a iterable which is to be mapped.
NOTE : You can pass one or more iterable to the map() function.
Returns :
Returns a list of the results after applying the given function to each item of a given iterable (list, tuple etc.)
NOTE : The returned value from map() (map object) then can be passed to functions like list() (to create a list), set() (to create a set) .
CODE 1
# Python program to demonstrate working # of map. # Return double 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 :
[2, 4, 6, 8]
CODE 2
We can also use lambda expressions with map to achieve above result.
# Double all numbers using map and lambda numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4) result = map(lambda x: x + x, numbers) print(list(result)) |
Output :
[2, 4, 6, 8]
CODE 3
# Add two lists using map and lambda numbers1 = [1, 2, 3] numbers2 = [4, 5, 6] result = map(lambda x, y: x + y, numbers1, numbers2) print(list(result)) |
Output :
[5, 7, 9]
CODE 4
# List of strings l = ['sat', 'bat', 'cat', 'mat'] # map() can listify the list of strings individually test = list(map(list, l)) print(test) |
Output :
[['s', 'a', 't'], ['b', 'a', 't'], ['c', 'a', 't'], ['m', 'a', 't']]
