my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How can I multiply each element in my_list by 5? The output should be:

Answer 1

With map (not as good, but another approach to the problem):

list(map(lambda x: x*5,[5, 10, 15, 20, 25]))

also, if you happen to be using numpy or numpy arrays, you could use this:

import numpy as np
list(np.array(x) * 5)
