Hi all, I wonder if Python provides a way to define anonymous functions containing multiple statements? With lambda form, we can only define a function of a single expression. In Javascript, it is possible to define a full-fledged anonymous functions, which suggests it is useful to have it. In Python, it might be like this:
#============== def test( fn, K ): return sum(fn(i) for i in range(K))/K test( def (i): #indent from start of this line, not from 'def' from math import sin #the last statement ends with a ',' or ')'. return sin(i)+i*i;, 100) #';' to mark end of statement #another way: test( def (i): #indent from start of this line, not from 'def' from math import sin return sin(i)+i*i , 100) #freely place ',' anywhere #=============== Any thoughts?
