Dask bags support functional programming paradigms, making them powerful tools for working with large datasets. Here are a few functional approaches you can use with Dask bags:

  1. Map: Use the map() method to apply a function to each element in a Dask bag. For example, the following code uses map() to square each element in a Dask bag:
import dask.bag as db
 
my_bag = db.from_sequence(range(10))
squared_bag = my_bag.map(lambda x: x**2)

This creates a Dask bag containing the squares of the numbers 0 to 9.

  1. Filter: Use the filter() method to filter elements from a Dask bag based on a condition. For example, the following code filters out odd numbers from a Dask bag:
import dask.bag as db
 
my_bag = db.from_sequence(range(10))
filtered_bag = my_bag.filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0)

This creates a Dask bag containing only even numbers.

  1. Fold: Use the fold() method to apply a binary operator to pairs of elements in a Dask bag. For example, the following code calculates the sum of all elements in a Dask bag:
import dask.bag as db
 
my_bag = db.from_sequence(range(10))
sum = my_bag.fold(lambda x, y: x + y).compute()

This calculates the sum of the numbers 0 to 9.

  1. Reduce: Use the reduce() method to apply a binary operator to pairs of elements in a Dask bag, and return a single value. For example, the following code calculates the product of all elements in a Dask bag:
import dask.bag as db
 
my_bag = db.from_sequence(range(1, 6))
product = my_bag.reduce(lambda x, y: x * y).compute()

This calculates the product of the numbers 1 to 5.

These are just a few examples of the functional programming approaches you can use with Dask bags. By combining these methods and using lambda functions, you can perform complex operations on large datasets with ease.
