HW02 lambda函数的一个问题

阐述一个有关lambda函数的问题

首先定义accumulate函数

def accumulate(combiner, base, n, term):
    """Return the result of combining the first n terms in a sequence and base.
    The terms to be combined are term(1), term(2), ..., term(n).  combiner is a
    two-argument commutative, associative function.

    >>> accumulate(add, 0, 5, identity)  # 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
    15
    >>> accumulate(add, 11, 5, identity) # 11 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
    26
    >>> accumulate(add, 11, 0, identity) # 11
    11
    >>> accumulate(add, 11, 3, square)   # 11 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2
    25
    >>> accumulate(mul, 2, 3, square)    # 2 * 1^2 * 2^2 * 3^2
    72
    >>> accumulate(lambda x, y: x + y + 1, 2, 3, square)
    19      #(((2 + 1^2 + 1) + 2^2 + 1) + 3^2 + 1)
