I agree with @cappe987 .

Functional programming is about the way you design your software, and not much just with the use of these built-in functions.

Anyway, it is a good start. Though, keep in mind that for many examples the filter and map approaches are not the best in Python.

I agree with you that Functional programming is more than the usage of pre-built functions in python.

I have demonstrated in a simple way to give a head-start to the people who are new to these concepts.

And filter and map may or may not be the best in python, but it gets our job done.
So it's all about trade-offs in programming.

Surely, I did not mean to disregard your post. I just wanted to expand @cappe987 comments further for the more advanced reader.

Cheers,
