From the lesson: Python map(), filter(), reduce(), and Higher-Order Functions

Picture an assembly line in a factory. Raw materials enter at one end. At the first station, each piece is shaped. At the next station, defective pieces are removed. At the final station, all the good pieces are combined into one finished product.

Read the lesson

Use reduce() from the functools module to calculate the product of all numbers in the list [2, 3, 4, 5].

The product is 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120.

Print the result.

Expected output:

from functools import reduce

numbers = [2, 3, 4, 5]

# Use reduce() to multiply all numbers together
