Is it possible to have multiple statements in a python lambda expression?

Question

I am a python newbie trying to achieve the following:

I have a list of lists:

lst = [[567,345,234],[253,465,756, 2345],[333,777,111, 555]]
         


        

Answer 1

There actually is a way you can use multiple statements in lambda. Here's my solution:

lst = [[567,345,234],[253,465,756, 2345],[333,777,111, 555]]

x = lambda l: exec("l.sort(); return l[1]")

map(x, lst)
