384reduce 归纳函数的用法

Posted 2021-02-14 alex-bn-lee

参考：Python的functools.reduce用法

python 3.0以后, reduce已经不在built-in function里了, 要用它就得from functools import reduce.

reduce的用法

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.

意思就是对sequence连续使用function, 如果不给出initial, 则第一次调用传递sequence的两个元素, 以后把前一次调用的结果和sequence的下一个元素传递给function. 如果给出initial, 则第一次传递initial和sequence的第一个元素给function.

from functools import reduce
reduce(lambda x,y: x+y, [1, 2, 3])
reduce(lambda x,y: x+y, [1, 2, 3], 9)

reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, [1, 2, 3, 4])
reduce(lambda x,y: x*y, [1, 2, 3, 4], 5)

reduce(lambda x,y: x**y, [2, 3, 4])

output:
