Day 13 – List Comprehension & Lambda Functions in Python

In many Nigerian markets β€” Balogun, Ariaria, Wuse, Ogbete, Bodija β€” business decisions are made fast, often without structured data analysis.

Sales are written in notebooks.

Numbers are messy.

Insights are intuitive.

But what if a few lines of Python could change that?

This post demonstrates how list comprehensions and lambda functions can transform raw market data into instant business intelligence.


🌍 The Real Problem (African Context)

Most informal businesses in Africa:

  • Record sales as rough lists
  • Manually calculate totals
  • Cannot quickly spot good or bad sales days
  • Waste time looping through data

In the informal economy, speed = survival.

Python gives us a powerful advantage.

  • Market traders exploring tech
  • SMEs & POS operators
