Why does return inside a lambda give a syntax error?
Short answer. A lambda holds one expression and its value returns by itself; return is a statement.
What does add(40, 25) print?
65.
Remember
| One expression only |
| No return, no loops |
Return inside a lambda gives a syntax error. Why? It is lambda, parameters, colon, one expression. That value returns by itself, so no return. Forty plus twenty five prints sixty five. One expression only. No return, no loops.
