15. Add Lists with Lambda

Write a Python program to add two given lists using map and lambda.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

# Create two lists 'nums1' and 'nums2' containing integers
nums1 = [1, 2, 3]
nums2 = [4, 5, 6]

# Display a message indicating that the following output will show the original lists
print("Original list:")
print(nums1)  # Print the contents of 'nums1'
print(nums2)  # Print the contents of 'nums2'

# Use the 'map()' function with a lambda function to add corresponding elements from 'nums1' and 'nums2'
# Apply the lambda function to pairs of elements from 'nums1' and 'nums2' and generate a new 'result' iterable
result = map(lambda x, y: x + y, nums1, nums2)

# Display the result after adding elements from both lists together using 'map()' and a lambda function
print("\nResult: after adding two lists")
print(list(result))  # Print the result of adding corresponding elements from 'nums1' and 'nums2'.

Sample Output:

Original list:
[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]

Result: after adding two list
[5, 7, 9]
