Python is an elegant programming language that offers the user many tools to simplify code and shorten its length. It is an object-oriented, high-level programming language that was released way back in 1991, and it is highly interpretable and efficient.

I initially started out with languages like C, C++, and Java. When I finally encountered python, I found it to be quite elegant, simple to learn, and easy to use. Python is the best way for anyone, even people with no prior experience with programming or coding languages, to get started with machine learning.

It offers a wide range of versatility to deal with various problems due to its simplicity of data structures, conditional loops, and functions. The anonymous and advanced functions are the main topic topics that we will deal with today, but the basic question is — What are functions?

Functions are a block of code that is written in a program so that they can be recalled multiple times. The main utility of a function is so that it can be repeatedly called numerous times in the same program, and you don’t need to write the same codes over and over again. However, you can also use it to provide more structure and an overall better look to your programs.

Functions are defined using the keyword ‘def,’ which can be called with defined or undefined parameters. When you call the particular the particular function, then whatever the value is to be returned is interpreted by the python compiler.

What if your code takes this block consisting of a few lines of code and performs it in just one or two lines?

This task can be performed by the anonymous function in python. Let us understand this concept with a bit more depth in the next section.
