In a python discusion, I saw a way to convert IP string to a integer in functional progamming way. Here is the Link .
The function is implemented in a single line.
def ipnumber(ip):
return reduce(lambda sum, chunk: sum <<8 | chunk, map(int, ip.split(".")))
However, I have few ideas of funcional programming. Could anybody explain the function in detail? I've some knowledg of "map" and "reduce". But I don't konw what "|" and "chunk" mean here?
Thanks.
