本文介绍了lambda表达式作为函数式编程中的一种匿名函数形式，在计算机编程中的应用。它探讨了lambda表达式的起源及其在现代编程语言中的作用，包括作为临时函数传递给高阶函数的情况以及在构造返回函数的高阶函数中的用途。

lambda表达式是函数式编程中的匿名函数语法规范。

In computer programming, an anonymous function (function literal, lambda abstraction, or lambda expression) is a function definition that is not bound to an identifier. Anonymous functions are often:^[1]

arguments being passed to higher-order functions, or
used for constructing the result of a higher-order function that needs to return a function.

If the function is only used once, or a limited number of times, an anonymous function may be syntactically lighter than using a named function. Anonymous functions are ubiquitous in functional programming languages and other languages with first-class functions, where they fulfill the same role for the function type as literals do for other data types.

Anonymous functions originate in the work of Alonzo Church in his invention of the lambda calculus in 1936, before electronic computers, in which all functions are anonymous.^[2]

Anonymous functions can be used for containing functionality that need not be named and possibly for short-term use. Some notable examples include closures and currying.

Use of anonymous functions is a matter of style. Using them is never the only way to solve a problem; each anonymous function could instead be defined as a named function and called by name. Some programmers use anonymous functions to encapsulate specific, non-reusable code without littering the code with a lot of little one-line normal functions.
