Understanding Python: Part 5

After having seen loops and conditional statements in the previous article, we now move forward with the set of topics called "Fantastic Four". This includes functions(built-in, lambda, recursive) and list comprehension which constitutes the core of Python programming. Let us see each of the concepts in detail with relevant examples. Functions are broadly divided into built-in, user-defined, and lambda(anonymous). Each of the categories is self-explanatory except the lambda functions which can be used on the go as opposed to the conventional user-defined functions.
