Summary  
Immediately-invoked lambda expressions let you define and execute an anonymous function inline for a one-off calculation, isolating its parameters and scope without naming it.

General domain of usage  
Functional-style data transformations

The immediate invocation of a lambda function serves a few specific purposes:

1. **One-Shot Expression Evaluation:** The lambda function is invoked immediately to compute a value inline without needing to assign a permanent name to the function. This is useful for concise, single-use logic;
2. **Code Isolation:** It allows you to isolate a small, self-contained expression within a block of code. This is particularly useful when you need to perform a quick transformation or calculation for a specific code fragment, avoiding the need to write a full def block;
3. **Encapsulated Scope:** Any parameters passed into the lambda exist only within the scope of that specific execution. This helps keep local variables tightly bound to the expression where they are used.

square = (lambda x: x**2)(5)
print(square)

This expression consists of a `lambda` function `(lambda x: x**2)` designed to calculate the square of a number, and it is immediately invoked with the argument `(5)`.
