python输出整数平方,使用python返回平方整数列表

I'm looking to write a function that takes the integers within a list, such as [1, 2, 3], and returns a new list with the squared integers; [1, 4, 9]

How would I go about this?

PS - just before I was about to hit submit I noticed Chapter 14 of O'Reilly's 'Learning Python' seems to provide the explanation I'm looking for (Pg. 358, 4th Edition)

But I'm still curious to see what other solutions are possible

You can (and should) use list comprehension:

squared = [x**2 for x in lst]

map makes one function call per element and while lambda expressions are quite handy, using map + lambda is mostly slower than list comprehension.
