I am new to python and i am trying to understand the map() function, but i haven't been able to understand from past questions.

For example, I have a class called Table that has a constructor that instantiates a Table object. I would like to create a list of table objects called table_objects_list. I can do this using a for loop but I want to learn pythons map() function.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Would you mind providing an example of the kind of output you're expecting? – SwiftsNamesake Aug 01 '17 at 00:49

Why do you want to use `map()` vs a list comprehension? E.g. `list(map(func, iterable))` can be written `[func(i) for i in iterable]` – AChampion Aug 01 '17 at 00:49

You should post some code showing how you tried to use `map` to make `table_objects_list`. – PM 2Ring Aug 01 '17 at 00:51
