map(function, iterable, ...)

　　Apply function to every item of iterable and return a list of the results. If additional iterable arguments are passed,function must take that many arguments and is applied to the items from all iterables in parallel. If one iterable is shorter than another it is assumed to be extended with None items. If function is None, the identity function is assumed; if there are multiple arguments,  returns a list consisting of tuples containing the corresponding items from all iterables (a kind of transpose operation). The iterable arguments may be a sequence or any iterable object; the result is always a list.

　　map接收一个函数和一个可迭代对象（如列表）作为参数，用函数处理每个元素，然后返回新的列表。　　

　　ACM有时需要要a b c这样的一行格式输入，这时可以用map函数来处理，这里假设a,b,c都是整数。

a, b, c = map(int, raw_input().split())

　　raw_input函数输入的是字符串，字符串的split方法用来将字符串分割成序列。
