Function Details: map

Description

Applies function to every item of iterable and return an iterator of the results.

Extended Description

The map() function applies a given function to each item of an iterable (or multiple iterables) and returns an iterator of the results. If additional iterables are passed, the function must take that many arguments and is applied to the items from all iterables in parallel. With multiple iterables, the iterator stops when the shortest iterable is exhausted.
