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 are better solutions without using lambda function. But if we really want to use lambda function, here is a generic solution to deal with multiple statements: map(lambda x: x[1] if (x.sort()) else x[1],lst)

You don't really care what the statement returns.
