It filters an iterable based on a given function

It converts an iterable to a dictionary

A function that is defined using the def keyword and has no name

3.		What is the output of the following code? numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] def square(x):return x * x squared_numbers = map(square, numbers) print(list(squared_numbers))

[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

[3, 6, 9, 12, 15]

4.		What is the output of the following code? def my_function(x, y):return x ** y result = my_function(2, 3) print(result)
