Python map() and lambda() Use Cases and Examples

Image
 In Python, map() and lambda functions are often used together for functional programming. Here are some examples to illustrate how they work. Python map and lambda top use cases 1. Using map() with lambda The map() function applies a given function to all items in an iterable (like a list) and returns a map object (which can be converted to a list). Example: Doubling Numbers numbers = [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ] doubled = list ( map ( lambda x: x * 2 , numbers)) print (doubled) # Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10] 2. Using map() to Convert Data Types Example: Converting Strings to Integers string_numbers = [ "1" , "2" , "3" , "4" , "5" ] integers = list ( map ( lambda x: int (x), string_numbers)) print (integers) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 3. Using map() with Multiple Iterables You can also use map() with more than one iterable. The lambda function can take multiple arguments. Example: Adding Two Lists Element-wise list1 = [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

How to Find Folder Space in Linux Easily

Here's an example that shows how to use find command to get directory utilized space in Linux. Many of a time during production support, or when crontab jobs failed, the reasons behind is space shortage of a directory.

Folder space


The find is handy you can use to get utilized space of a directory. That helps you to delete unnecessary files (that actually make some space).


Linux find command


Here's the find command that I have used in our project. You will find here the detailed explanation of this command and how to use it.


find /home/srini -xdev -ls | sort +6rn | head -20


Part#1: Directory path


In the first part,  after the find you need to give the directory's path for which folder you are going to find space.


Part#2: Option -xdev


The second part is -xdev, which gives the space usage of all the subdirectories.


Part#3: Option -ls


The next part is the -ls option that provides a sorted list of all the subdirectories. 

Part#4: Sort command


Then, the sort command sorts based on the value +6rn.


Sort options


-n Sort numerically (10 will sort after 2), ignore blanks and tabs 
-r Reverse the order of sort 
-f Sort upper- and lowercase together 
+x Ignore first x fields when sorting


Part#5: Option +xrn


The value +6 states to ignore 6 columns in the sort. The option +rn sorts in descending order of memory.


Sort command


Part#6: Option head -20


The head -20 gets the top 20 rows of directories details.

The command you can use to find the folders which takes more space.

Tip#1 I have gone through the best books and Udemy courses. I am giving here for your reference. Here is the book on Bash scripting and Udemy course is Bash Mastery helpful to know more.
