python map()函数和reduce()函数的区别

map()函数解释是:

map(...)
    map(function, sequence[, sequence, ...]) -> list
   
    Return a list of the results of applying the function to the items of
    the argument sequence(s).  If more than one sequence is given, the
    function is called with an argument list consisting of the corresponding
    item of each sequence, substituting None for missing values when not all
    sequences have the same length.  If the function is None, return a list of
    the items of the sequence (or a list of tuples if more than one sequence).

个人理解：

接受一个函数和list，通过这个函数对list内每个元素进行处理，返回一个处理好的list

 

reduce()函数的解释是：

reduce(...)
    reduce(function, sequence[, initial]) -> value
   
    Apply a function of two arguments cumulatively to the items of a sequence,
    from left to right, so as to reduce the sequence to a single value.
    For example, reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) calculates
    ((((1+2)+3)+4)+5).  If initial is present, it is placed before the items
    of the sequence in the calculation, and serves as a default when the
    sequence is empty.

个人理解：

接受一个函数和list，按顺序对list里的元素进行函数处理生成一个新的元素，知道直到处理完list所有元素，

最终返回一个值
