Hello,
I recently bought a book "adventures in group theory" which uses Sage. On page 
14
it tells Sage allows functions to be defined using a 'lamba operator' and the 
following example is shown:
pi = lambda x: pari(x).primepi()

can someone here explain this in "newbie-language"

I understand what pi(x) (number of primes =< x) is but not how it is 
accomplished
with the syntax above

thanks for being patient with a newbie
jean
