    The % sigil is only used when referring to the hash as a whole, such as when asking for keys %phone_book. The list of keys and values can be extracted using the built-in functions keys and values, respectively. So, for example, to print all the keys of a hash:

  3. Anonymous function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function

    In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, expression or block) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier.Anonymous functions are often arguments being passed to higher-order functions or used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function. [1]

    In this example, the lambda expression (lambda (book) (>= (book-sales book) threshold)) appears within the function best-selling-books. When the lambda expression is evaluated, Scheme creates a closure consisting of the code for the lambda expression and a reference to the threshold variable, which is a free variable inside the lambda expression.

  5. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})

  6. Functional programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

    The lambda calculus, developed in the 1930s by Alonzo Church, is a formal system of computation built from function application.In 1937 Alan Turing proved that the lambda calculus and Turing machines are equivalent models of computation, [37] showing that the lambda calculus is Turing complete.

    Python's is operator may be used to compare object identities (comparison by reference), and comparisons may be chained—for example, a <= b <= c. Python uses and, or, and not as Boolean operators. Python has a type of expression named a list comprehension, and a more general expression named a generator expression. [78]

  8. Lambda lifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_lifting

    Lambda lifting is a meta-process that restructures a computer program so that functions are defined independently of each other in a global scope.An individual "lift" transforms a local function into a global function.

  9. Lambda expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_expression

    Lambda expression may refer to: Lambda expression in computer programming, also called an anonymous function , is a defined function not bound to an identifier. Lambda expression in lambda calculus , a formal system in mathematical logic and computer science for expressing computation by way of variable binding and substitution.
