<p>This lambda coding is still quite difficult to read for a novice like me, but it gets easier every time I see it. Good to see those different approaches too.</p>

<p>lambda usage will save your time, code lines and boolean if/else condition, because it allows to return your output immediately without having function then print it using it's return statement, as you lambda will immediately escape all of these tasks and shrink them into one single task!</p>
