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 ]

Teradata: Key Role in Telecommunication Analytics

Teradata, a US analytics solutions and applications provider, has said that there is a growing market for next-generation analytics in India amid intense competition among telcos and growing mobile phone penetration. Insights Carriers with increasing consumer focus require next-generation analytics to unify data from both the traditional and Big Data environments and transform it into meaningful insights - on how subscribers are consuming their services and in turn how they can improve their marketing tactics for upselling, customer retention, and loyalty. And ever since mobile number portability ( MNP) - a facility that allows subscribers to retain their numbers despite switching operators - was introduced late 2010 in India, customer retention has become a key imperative for service operators such as Vodafone India, Idea Cellular, and Bharti Airtel. Telecom Analytics "With rising teledensity, ensuing competition, and falling average revenue-per-user, telcos will have to look b
