Is it considered as good practice to assign lambda expressions in C++ to a variable?
I know from python, that it isn’t good practice
Which is more preferable to use: lambda functions or nested functions ('def')?
which makes perfect sense to me, because it makes no sense to give an anonymous function a name. However, I have seen very often in C++ that lambda is assigned to a variable, like here for example

Is this considered as good practice in C++? From this post here
What is a lambda expression in C++11?
I conclude, it can be also seen as very convenient way to define functors. So it looks like lambda is in C++ considered as more than just an anonymous function.
>Solution :
In short, it usually is. It improves your code by making it more readable. Of course, don’t use lambda for lambda’s own sake.
