Assume you use a for loop to define a few different lambdas (or even plain
functions), e.g.::
- squares = []
- for x in range(5):
- squares.append(lambda: x**2)
+ >>> squares = []
+ >>> for x in range(5):

This gives you a list that contains 5 lambdas that calculate ``x**2``. You
might expect that, when called, they would return, respectively, ``0``, ``1``,

In order to avoid this, you need to save the values in variables local to the
lambdas, so that they don't rely on the value of the global ``x``::
- squares = []
- for x in range(5):
- squares.append(lambda n=x: n**2)
+ >>> squares = []
+ >>> for x in range(5):
+ ... squares.append(lambda n=x: n**2)
Here, ``n=x`` creates a new variable ``n`` local to the lambda and computed
when the lambda is defined so that it has the same value that ``x`` had at

Since the comma is not an operator, but a separator between expressions the

The same is true of the various assignment operators (``=``, ``+=`` etc). They
are not truly operators but syntactic delimiters in assignment statements.
