Calculating file sizes
Lambda functions are handy for quickly creating short, one-line functions that can be used immediately without the need for formal def definitions.
In this exercise, you'll work with a lambda function that calculates the total file size including extra space needed for file information. extra_space is calculated as a percent of file_size.
