How do I map lists in Python with examples?

Mapping lists in Python allows you to apply a function to every item in a list, generating a new list with the results. The built-in `map()` function is commonly used for this purpose. Here's how it works:


        # Example of mapping a list in Python

        numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
        
        # Function to square a number
        def square(x):
            return x * x
        
        # Using map to apply the square function to each element in the list
        squared_numbers = list(map(square, numbers))
        
        print(squared_numbers)  # Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
