Chapter 14. Advanced Function Topics

This chapter introduces a collection of more advanced function-related topics: the lambda expression, functional programming tools such as map and list comprehensions, generators, and more. Part of the art of using functions lies in the interfaces between them, so we will also explore some general function design principles here. Because this is the last chapter in Part IV, we'll close with the usual sets of gotchas and exercises to help you start coding the ideas you've read about.
