Python lambda vs list comprehension

Actually, list comprehension is much clearer and faster than filter+lambda, but you can use whichever you find easier.

Here is the difference between filter vs list comprehension in coding

For the code that is easier to write and understand (or if you feel the filter() + lambda is confusing), you should choose the List comprehension. List comprehension is easier to read, understand, and type.

LIST COMPREHENSION

even = [i for i in range(20) if i % 2 == 0] print(even)

FILTER + LAMBDA

even = filter(lambda n: n % 2 == 0, range(20)) print(list(even))

Python Lists filter() vs List Comprehension Which is Faster?

Answer: When the list is so small there is no significant difference between the two. But if you want the code which is faster, I would tell you to choose the filter() + lambda. It is the faster one
