Python lambda和reduce函数

看到一篇博文写lambda和reduce函数，笔者小痒了一下，用Python实现一下：

 

#! /usr/bin/env python

# -*-coding:utf-8-*-

 

import time

import math

 

def test_reduce():

   start_time = time.clock()

   print reduce[A1] (lambdax,y:x*y[A2] ,range(1,long(input('plz input a num(>0):')+1))[A3] )

   print 'Time used:%s' %(time.clock()-start_time)

   return;

 

def test_math():

   start_time2 = time.clock()

   print math.factorial[A4] (long(raw_input('plz input a num(>0):')))

   print 'Time used:%s' %(time.clock()-start_time2)

 

if __name__ == '__main__':

   

   print '~'*34+'Use reduce'+'~'*34

   test_reduce()

 

   print '~'*34+'Use math'+'~'*34

   test_math()

 

 

 

 

Python is Python!

 [A1]关于reduce函数的参数及解释：

reduce(function, iterable[, initializer])

Apply function of two argumentscumulatively to the items of iterable, from left to right, so as to reduce theiterable to a single value. For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4,5]) calculates ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5). The left argument, x, is the accumulatedvalue and the right argument, y, is the update value from the iterable. If theoptional initializer is present, it is placed before the items of the iterablein the calculation, and serves as a default when the iterable is empty. Ifinitializer is not given and iterable contains only one item, the first item isreturned.

 [A2]关于lambda函数的参数及解释：

An anonymous inline function consisting ofa single expressionwhich is evaluated when the function is called. The syntax to create a lambdafunction is lambda [arguments]: expression

Lambda expressions (sometimes called lambdaforms) have the same syntactic position as expressions. They are a shorthand tocreate anonymous functions; the expression lambda arguments: expression yieldsa function object. The unnamed object behaves like a function object definedwith

def name(arguments):

   return expression

 [A3]关于range函数的参数及解释：

the built-in function range() returns a sequence of integers suitable to emulate theeffect of Pascal’s for i := a to b do; e.g., range(3) returns the list [0, 1,2].

 [A4]关于factorial函数的参数及解释:

math.factorial(x)

Return x factorial. Raises ValueError if x is not integral or is negative.
