Python reduce explanation

Question

I\'m not able to understand the following code segment:

>>> lot = ((1, 2), (3, 4), (5,))
>>> reduce(lambda t1, t2: t1 + t2, lot)
(1, 2, 3,          


        

Answer 1

let's trace the reduce

result = (1,2) + (3,4)

result = result + (5, )

Notice that your reduction concatenates tuples.
