function converted into a lambda:

Function_vs._lambda.py

people = ['Dr. Christopher Brooks', 'Dr. Kevyn Collins-Thompson', 'Dr. VG Vinod Vydiswaran', 'Dr. Daniel Romero']

def split_title_and_name(person):
    return person.split()[0] + ' ' + person.split()[-1]


for person in people:
#option 1
    print(split_title_and_name(person) == (lambda x: x.split(' ')[0] + ' ' + x.split(' ')[-1])(person))

#option 2
list(map(split_title_and_name, people)) == list(map(lambda x:x.split(' ')[0] + ' ' + x.split(' ')[-1], people))

In the video exercise "Advanced Understanding of Python Lambda and Lists" in week 1, you suggest using person in the lambda function, but person has no scope into for function block.

#option 2
list(map(split_title_and_name, people)) == list(map(lambda person: person.split()[0] + ' ' + person.split()[-1], people))
