Python: Create a function that takes one argument multiplied with an unknown given number

Python Lambda: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python program to create a function that takes one argument, and that argument will be multiplied with an unknown given number.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

def func_compute(n):
 return lambda x : x * n
result = func_compute(2)
print("Double the number of 15 =", result(15))
result = func_compute(3)
print("Triple the number of 15 =", result(15))
result = func_compute(4)
print("Quadruple the number of 15 =", result(15))
result = func_compute(5)
print("Quintuple the number 15 =", result(15))

Sample Output:

Double the number of 15 = 30
Triple the number of 15 = 45
Quadruple the number of 15 = 60
Quintuple the number 15 = 75

Python: Tips of the Day

Creates a dictionary with the same keys as the provided dictionary and values generated by running the provided function for each value:

Example:

def tips_map_values(obj, fn):
  ret = {}
  for key in obj.keys():
    ret[key] = fn(obj[key])
  return ret
users = {
  'Owen': { 'user': 'Owen', 'age': 29 },
  'Eddie': { 'user': 'Eddie', 'age': 15 }
}

print(tips_map_values(users, lambda u : u['age'])) # {'Owen': 29, 'Eddie': 15}

Output:

{'Owen': 29, 'Eddie': 15}
