Python Coding Challenge - Question with Answer (ID 091126)

 

Explanation:

Step 1: Understand the Outer Lambda

lambda x: ...

- lambda creates an anonymous function.

- The outer lambda accepts one argument, x.

- In this code, x = 2.

Step 2: Understand the Inner Lambda

lambda y: x**y

- This creates another lambda function inside the outer lambda.

- It accepts one argument, y.

- It calculates x raised to the power of y.

- It can access x from the outer lambda.

Step 3: Execute the Inner Lambda

(lambda y: x**y)(3)

- The inner lambda is immediately called with 3.

- Therefore, y = 3.

- The expression becomes:

2 ** 3

Step 4: Execute the Outer Lambda

(lambda x: ...)(2)

- The outer lambda is called with 2.

- Therefore, x = 2.

- It executes the inner lambda using y = 3.

Step 5: Calculate the Result

\[

2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8

\]

3. Final Output

8
