I don't know if lambda expressions are discussed in the user manual. The SAGE language is Python, and Python has a very nice lambda expression. Thus this nicely written book also applies to SAGE: http://docs.python.org/tut/ The section on lambda expressions is here: http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html#SECTION006750000000000000000 William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
