Lambda Assessment 1
This Lambda assessment evaluates the following skills :
1. Lambda Functions: Understanding the concept of lambda functions, their purpose, and how they differ from regular functions.
2. Syntax: Familiarity with the correct syntax for defining and using lambda functions in the programming language of choice (e.g., Python, JavaScript, etc.).
3. Functionality: Ability to write lambda functions that perform specific tasks, such as filtering, mapping, reducing, sorting, or transforming data.
4. Parameter Handling: Knowledge of how to handle parameters and arguments within lambda functions, including multiple parameters and default values.
5. Variable Scope: Understanding the scope of variables within lambda functions and how they interact with variables defined outside the function.
6. Higher-order Functions: Understanding how to use lambda functions as arguments or return values of higher-order functions.
7. Integration with Libraries: Familiarity with using lambda functions in conjunction with popular libraries or frameworks, such as Pandas, NumPy, or JavaScript's array methods.
8. Error Handling: Ability to handle errors and exceptions within lambda functions effectively.
9. Performance Optimization: Awareness of techniques to optimize lambda functions for better performance, such as avoiding unnecessary computations or leveraging parallelization.
10. Use Cases: Knowledge of real-world use cases where lambda functions are commonly employed, such as event-driven programming, asynchronous programming, or functional programming paradigms.
