Python Coding challenge - Day 565| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Defining the factory Function

def factory(n):

    return lambda x: x ** n

Explanation:

factory is a function that takes a parameter n.

It returns a lambda function that takes x and returns x ** n (i.e., x raised to the power n).

This is a function factory – it generates power functions dynamically.

Example:

factory(2) will return a function that squares its input (x ** 2)

factory(3) will return a function that cubes its input (x ** 3)

2. Creating the square Function

square = factory(2)

Explanation:

Calls factory(2), which returns lambda x: x ** 2

So square is now a function that returns the square of any input.

Example:

square(3) → 3 ** 2 = 9

3. Creating the cube Function

cube = factory(3)

Explanation:

Calls factory(3), which returns lambda x: x ** 3

So cube is now a function that returns the cube of any input.

Example:

cube(2) → 2 ** 3 = 8

4. Printing the Results

print(square(3), cube(2))

Explanation:

square(3) → 3 ** 2 = 9

cube(2) → 2 ** 3 = 8

Output:

9 8
