conditionals in lambdas?

[Michael P. Soulier]

    Hey people. If I want to put conditions in a lambda function, how would I
go about that? 

def test(string):
    if string[:3] == 'yes:
        return 1
    else:
        return 0

    I'd like to make something like this a lambda function. Is that possible?

    Mike
