what is the use of map function in python code example

Example 1: map function in python

# Python program to demonstrate working 
# of map. 
  
# Return double of n 
def addition(n): 
    return n + n 
  
# We double all numbers using map() 
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4) 
result = map(addition, numbers) 
print(list(result))

Example 2: map in python

'''try this instead of defining a function'''

a = [1,2,3,4]
a = list(map(lambda n: n+n, a))

print(a)

Example 3: python map

map(function_to_apply, list_of_inputs)

Example 4: map in python

# Python program to demonstrate working 
# of map. 
  
# Return double of n 
def addition(n): 
    return n + n 
  
# We double all numbers using map() 
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4) 
result = map(addition, numbers) 
print(list(result))
# result [2, 4, 6, 8]
