functions in a dictionary

[Skaperen]

Is this more like what you want?

function_dictionary = {'fun1':lambda a:a*a, 'fun2': lambda a:a+a}
print function_dictionary['fun1'](3) # prints 9
print function_dictionary['fun2'](7) # prints 14

what if i have 85 functions to put in there, except on Tuesday only 84?

Python is very flexible.

indeed, it is. but some people discourage doing some things certain ways.

do you like this way of making a dictionary?

    fun_stuff = dict(
        identity = lambda x:x,
        square   = lambda x:x*x,
        cube     = lambda x:x*x*x,
    )
