Learn Lambda Functions by Building an Expense Tracker - Step 17

Tell us what’s happening:

In the total_expenses function, you’ll now integrate a lambda function. Replace pass with a lambda function that has expense as its parameter.

expense is expected to be a dictionary, and your lambda function should return the value of the ‘amount’ key in the expense dictionary.

Your code so far

def add_expense(expenses, amount, category):
    expenses.append({'amount': amount, 'category': category})
    
def print_expenses(expenses):
    for expense in expenses:
        print(f'Amount: {expense["amount"]}, Category: {expense["category"]}')
    

# User Editable Region

def total_expenses(expenses):
    return sum(map(lambda expense: expense['amount'], expenses))

# User Editable Region


expenses = []

Learn Lambda Functions by Building an Expense Tracker - Step 17

Hello there!
I think you went too far with this task. I do not see the need to use the map and sum functions. I’d suggest you get rid of the functions and only have the lambda line.
