Lambda Expressions
Lambda expressions are expressions that evaluate to functions by specifying two things: the parameters and a return expression.
lambda <parameters>: <return expression>
While both lambda
expressions and def
statements create function objects,
there are some notable differences. lambda
expressions work like other
expressions; much like a mathematical expression just evaluates to a number and
does not alter the current environment, a lambda
expression
evaluates to a function without changing the current environment. Let's take a
closer look.
lambda | def | |
---|---|---|
Type | Expression that evaluates to a value | Statement that alters the environment |
Result of execution | Creates an anonymous lambda function with no intrinsic name. | Creates a function with an intrinsic name and binds it to that name in the current environment. |
Effect on the environment | Evaluating a lambda expression does not create or
modify any variables. |
Executing a def statement both creates a new function
object and binds it to a name in the current environment. |
Usage | A lambda expression can be used anywhere that
expects an expression, such as in an assignment statement or as the
operator or operand to a call expression. |
After executing a def statement, the created
function is bound to a name. You should use this name to refer to the
function anywhere that expects an expression. |

Environment Diagrams
Environment diagrams are one of the best learning tools for understanding
lambda
expressions and higher order functions because you're able to keep
track of all the different names, function objects, and arguments to functions.
We highly recommend drawing environment diagrams or using Python
tutor if you get stuck doing the WWPD problems below.
For examples of what environment diagrams should look like, try running some
code in Python tutor. Here are the rules:
Assignment Statements
- Evaluate the expression on the right hand side of the
=
sign. - If the name found on the left hand side of the
=
doesn't already exist in the current frame, write it in. If it does, erase the current binding. Bind the value obtained in step 1 to this name.
If there is more than one name/expression in the statement, evaluate all the expressions first from left to right before making any bindings.
def Statements
- Draw the function object with its intrinsic name, formal parameters, and parent frame. A function's parent frame is the frame in which the function was defined.
- If the intrinsic name of the function doesn't already exist in the current frame, write it in. If it does, erase the current binding. Bind the newly created function object to this name.
Call expressions
Note: you do not have to go through this process for a built-in Python function like
max
or
- Evaluate the operator, whose value should be a function.
- Evaluate the operands left to right.
- Open a new frame. Label it with the sequential frame number, the intrinsic name of the function, and its parent.
- Bind the formal parameters of the function to the arguments whose values you found in step 2.
- Execute the body of the function in the new environment.
Lambdas
Note: As we saw in the
lambda
expression section above,lambda
functions have no intrinsic name. When drawinglambda
functions in environment diagrams, they are labeled with the namelambda
or with the lowercase Greek letter λ. This can get confusing when there are multiple lambda functions in an environment diagram, so you can distinguish them by numbering them or by writing the line number on which they were defined.
- Draw the lambda function object and label it with λ, its formal parameters, and its parent frame. A function's parent frame is the frame in which the function was defined.
This is the only step. We are including this section to emphasize the fact that
the difference between lambda
expressions and def
statements is that
lambda
expressions do not create any new bindings in the environment.

Q3: Lambda 和柯里化
我们可以利用 lambda 表达式将多参数函数转换为一系列单参数的高阶函数。例如,我们可以将函数 f(x, y)
写成另一个函数
g(x)(y)
。这被称为柯里化。在处理只接受单参数函数的函数时,这非常有用。稍后我们将看到一些例子。
编写一个函数 lambda_curry2
,它将使用 lambda 对任何两个参数的函数进行柯里化。有关柯里化的更多详细信息,请参阅课本。
你的解答应只在 return 语句那一行上。你可以先在没有这个限制的情况下编写它,之后再将其修改为一行。
def lambda_curry2(func):
"""
Returns a Curried version of a two-argument function FUNC.
>>> from operator import add, mul, mod
>>> curried_add = lambda_curry2(add)
>>> add_three = curried_add(3)
>>> add_three(5)
8
>>> curried_mul = lambda_curry2(mul)
>>> mul_5 = curried_mul(5)
>>> mul_5(42)

Q4: 数数伯爵 (Count van Count)
考虑以下 count_factors
和 count_primes
函数的实现:
def count_factors(n):
"""Return the number of positive factors that n has.
>>> count_factors(6)
4 # 1, 2, 3, 6
>>> count_factors(4)
3 # 1, 2, 4
"""
i, count = 1, 0
while i <= n:
if n % i == 0:
count += 1
i += 1
return count
def count_primes(n):
"""Return the number of prime numbers up to and including n.
>>> count_primes(6)
3 # 2, 3, 5
>>> count_primes(13)
6 # 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13

i, count = 1, 0
while i <= n:
if is_prime(i):
count += 1
i += 1
return count
def is_prime(n):
return count_factors(n) == 2 # only factors are 1 and n
这两个函数的实现看起来非常相似!请你编写一个函数 count_cond
来泛化这个逻辑,该函数接受一个带有两个参数的条件判断函数
condition(n,
i)
。count_cond
返回一个单参数函数,该函数接受 n
,并计算从 1 到 n
的所有满足 condition
的数字。
def count_cond(condition):
"""Returns a function with one parameter N that counts all the numbers from
1 to N that satisfy the two-argument predicate function Condition, where
the first argument for Condition is N and the second argument is the
number from 1 to N.

环境图练习题
这一部分不需要提交。然而,我们仍然鼓励你在纸上完成这些问题,以熟悉环境图,它们可能会以另一种形式出现在考试中。
Q5: Make Adder
为以下代码绘制环境图:
n = 9
def make_adder(n):
return lambda k: k + n
add_ten = make_adder(n+1)
result = add_ten(n)
一共有 3 个框架(Frame)(包括全局框架(Global Frame))。此外,请思考以下问题:
- 在全局框架中,名称
add_ten
指向一个函数对象。该函数对象的内在名称是什么,它的父框架是什么? - 框架
f2
标记的名称是什么(add_ten
或 λ)?f2
的父框架是什么? - 在全局框架中,变量
result
绑定的值是什么?
你可以在 tutor.cs61a.org 上尝试环境图。要查看此问题的环境图,请点击 这里。
- 名称
add_ten
指向的函数对象的内在名称是 λ(具体来说,是参数为k
的 lambda)。这个 lambda 的父框架是f1
。 f2
标记的名称是 λ,f2
的父框架是f1
,因为 λ 是在f1
中定义的。- 变量
result
绑定的值是 19。
Q6: Lambda 环境图解析
尝试为以下代码绘制环境图,并预测 Python 将输出什么。
你不需要通过 Ok 提交或解锁这个问题。 不过,你可以使用 Online Python Tutor 检查你的工作,但请先自己尝试绘制!
>>> a = lambda x: x * 2 + 1
>>> def b(b, x):
... return b(x + a(x))
>>> x = 3

Q7: 复合恒等函数
编写一个函数,该函数接收两个单参数函数 f
和 g
,并返回另一个函数,该函数接受一个参数 x
。
如果 f(g(x))
等于 g(f(x))
,则返回函数应返回 True
。
可以假设 g(x)
的输出是 f
的有效输入,反之亦然。
请尝试使用下面定义的 compose1
函数来练习更多高阶函数。
def compose1(f, g):
"""Return the composition function which given x, computes f(g(x)).
>>> add_one = lambda x: x + 1 # adds one to x

>>> a1(4)
25
>>> mul_three = lambda x: x * 3 # multiplies 3 to x

Q8: 我听说你喜欢函数……
定义一个函数 cycle
,该函数接收三个函数 f1
、f2
和 f3
作为参数。
cycle
将返回另一个函数,该函数接受一个整数参数 n
,并返回最终的函数。
这个最终函数接受一个参数 x
,并根据 n
的值循环对 x
应用 f1
、f2
和
f3
。
以下是不同 n
值时,最终函数对 x
的操作方式:
n = 0
,返回x
n = 1
,对x
应用f1
,即返回f1(x)
n = 2
,先对x
应用f1
,再对结果应用f2
,即返回f2(f1(x))
n = 3
,依次对x
应用f1
、f2
和f3
,即返回f3(f2(f1(x)))
n = 4
,重新开始循环,依次应用f1
、f2
、f3
,然后再次应用f1
,即返回f1(f3(f2(f1(x))))
- 以此类推。
提示: 主要的逻辑应放在最内层的函数中。
