Python Map | Mapping Function in Python

Python map() – This method returns a map object(which is basically an iterator) of the results or answers after applying the given function to each and every item of a given iterable, it can be a list, tuple, etc.

SYNTAX –

map(givenFunc, givenIter)

where,

  1. givenFunc –  It is the function to which the map passes each element of a given iterable. It is a mandatory field.
  2. givenIter – It is basically a sequence, collection or any iterator object. We can send as many iterables as we like. It is also a mandatory field.

 

Map() return value – 

The map() method or function returns an object of the map class. The returned value can be passed to any function like

  • list() – to convert it to a simple list
  • set() – to convert it to a set

For example –

Make new words by adding words from two different iterable objects:

 

def func(a,b):

     return a+b

 

x = map(func,(‘tech’, ‘bread’, ‘food’ ), (‘study’, ‘jam’, ‘study’ ) )

OUTPUT – 

[‘techstudy’,’breadjam’,’foodstudy’]

 

NOTE: Lambda function – A lambda Python map function is basically a short function that doesn’t have a name. 

Using lambda function with map – 

Code: 

numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4)

result = map(lambda x: x*x, numbers)

print(result)

# converting map object to set

numbersSquare = set(result)

print(numbersSquare)

 

OUTPUT :

[16, 1, 4, 9]
