+ ` filter() ` | Filter lets us filter in some values based on conditional logic. |
259
+ ` map() ` | Map applies a function to every element in an iterable. |
260
+ ` reduce() ` | Reduce repeatedly reduces a sequence pair-wise until we reach a single value. |

+ ```
264
+ >>> list(filter(lambda x:x>5,range(8)))
265
+ # range(8) -> [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
266
+ # now filter all numbers greater than 5
267
+ [6, 7]

+ #### map()

+ ```
271
+ >>> list(map(lambda x:x**2,range(8)))
272
+ # range(8) -> [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
273
+ # now map will apply function x -> x**2 to all numbers from 0 to 7

+ [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49]
