+Map applies a function to all the items in an input_list. Here is the 
+blueprint:
+
+`map(function_to_apply, list_of_inputs)`
+
+
+Most of the times we want to pass all the list elements to a function 
+one-by-one and then collect the output. For instance:
+
+```
+items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+squared = []
+for i in items:
+    squared.append(i**2)
+```
+
+Map allows us to implement this in a much simpler and nicer way. Here you go:
+```
+items = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+squared = list(map(lambda x: x**2, items))
+```
+
+Most of the times we use lambdas with map, so I did the same. Instead of a 
+list of inputs we can even have a list of functions!
+
+```
+def multiply(x):
+	return (x*x)
+def add(x):
+	return (x+x)
+
+funcs = [multiply, add]
+for i in range(5):
+	value = list(map(lambda x: x(i), funcs))
+```
