It is used for applying a function to an iterable object like a list, string or tuple. It takes the function and 1 or more iterable as arguments. e.g. ` def add_one(x): return x+1

i = [1,2,3]

print(list(map(add_one,i)))

THIS PRINTS [2, 3, 4]

Two iterables def add_both(x, y): return x + y

first = [2, 3, 4] second = [1, 2, 3]

print(list(map(add_both, first, second)))

THIS PRINTS [3, 5, 7]
