How to use if else & elif in lambda function In Python
We can also use nested if, if-else in lambda function. Here we will create a lambda function to check if two number is equal or greater or lesser. We will implement this using the lambda function.
Syntax:
lambda <args> : <statement1> if <condition > ( <statement2> if <condition> else <statement3>)
Here, statement1 will be returned when if the condition is true, statement2 will be returned when elif true, and statement3 will be returned when else is executed.
Example:
Here, we passed 2 numbers to the lambda function. and check the relation between them. That is if one number is greater or equal or lesser than another number
Python3
# Use if-else in Lambda Functions# check if two numbers is equal or greater or lesserresult = lambda x,y : f"{x} is smaller than {y}" \if x < y else (f"{x} is greater than {y}" if x > y \ else f"{x} is equal to {y}")# print for numbersprint(result(12, 11))print(result(12, 12))print(result(12, 13)) |
12 is greater than 11 12 is equal to 12 12 is smaller than 13
How to use if, else & elif in Python Lambda Functions
Lambda function can have multiple parameters but have only one expression. This one expression is evaluated and returned. Thus, We can use lambda functions as a function object. In this article, we will learn how to use if, else & elif in Lambda Functions.
