# Using Lambda function and min() function

small = lambda a, b : min(a,b)

print(small(20, -20))
print(small(10, 8))
print(small(20, 20))

Output:

-20
8
20

Method 2: Using Lambda Expression and Ternary Operator

Pass the numbers (a and b) to the lambda function and compare them using the ternary operator.

# Using Lambda function and Ternary Operator

small = lambda a, b : a if a < b else b

print(small(20, -20))
print(small(10, 8))
print(small(20, 20))

-20
8
20
