Lambdas in Python are a concise way to define anonymous functions. They are useful for short, inline functions that are used only once or in situations where a full function definition would be cumbersome.
# Syntax
lambda arguments: expression
# Example of use
add = lambda x, y: x + y # Defines a lambda function that adds two numbers
result = add(5, 3) # Calls the lambda function with arguments 5 and 3
print(result) # Output: 8
