I have some questions/clarifications to ask regarding the code snippet below. Thank you!
cube_a = 2 ** 3
cube_b = 2 ** 3
cube_c = lambda x: x ** 3
cube_d = lambda x: x ** 3
cube_e = lambda x: cube_d
cube_f = lambda cube_d: cube_d
def cube_g(cube_a):
def cube_h(cube_a):
return cube_a ** 3
return cube_h
print(cube_d == cube_e(2)) #True Statement 1
print(cube_d == cube_f(2)) #False Statement 2
print(cube_g(3)(5) == 5 **3 ) #True Statement 3
print(cube_a== cube_b) #True Statement 4
print(cube_c== cube_d) #False Statement 5
I do not understand why statement 1 is true, below is my understanding for the rest of the statements.
Statement 2: a function and another function that return that former function are different
Regarding statement 3: cube_g(3)(5) becomes cube_g(3) which calls cube_h(5) hence returning 5**3
Regarding statement 4: is it true because the functions/code are exactly the same line by line? I tried switching up the order (2 **3 vs 3 **2) and using the id() the address was different.
Regarding statement 5: Every lambda function has its own address?
The statement 1 is true because in cube_e you are just returning the lambda function itself, you are not passing any arguments so it will always return cube_d
