Map function with example in python

Question

Can you explain Map function with example in python? Thank you

Answer 1

The map function executes the function_object for each element in the sequence and returns a list of the elements modified by the function object.

syntax:

map(function_object, iterable1, iterable2,...)

Example:

def multiply2(x):
  return x * 2
    map(multiply2, [1, 2, 3, 4])  # Output [2, 4, 6, 8]

map executes multiply2 function for each element in the list i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 and returns [2, 4, 6, 8]
