Learn Intermediate Python 3 with this interactive course, and get a handle on the most popular programming language in the world.

Join us on an interactive journey through the syntax and functionality of Python. The course begins by exploring the basic building blocks before moving on to higher-level concepts such as functions and loops. Fun quizzes and coding challenges will accompany you along the way to help enforce all the concepts covered in the course.

By the time you're done, you'll have the skills you need to create your own basic applications in Python 3.

We have to specify function names while creating them. However, there is a special class of functions for which we do not need to specify function names.

## Definition

> A **lambda** is an anonymous function that *returns* some form of data.


Lambdas are defined using the `lambda` keyword. Since they return data, it is a good practice to assign them to a variable.

## Syntax
The following syntax is used for creating lambdas:
