python max function

square = {2: 4, -3: 9, -1: 1, -2: 4}

# the largest key
key1 = max(square)
print("The largest key:", key1)    # 2

# the key whose value is the largest
key2 = max(square, key = lambda k: square[k])

print("The key with the largest value:", key2)    # -3

# getting the largest value
print("The largest value:", square[key2])    # 9

max value in python

# find largest item in the string

# find largest item in the list
print(max([2, 1, 4, 3]))

print(max(("one", "two", "three"))) 
'two'

# find largest item in the dict
print(max({1: "one", 2: "two", 3: "three"})) 
3

# empty iterable causes ValueError
# print(max([])) 

# supressing the error with default value
print(max([], default=0))

python max()

i = max(2, 4, 6, 3)

print(i)
# Result will be 6 because it is the highest number

python max with custom function

nums = [1,2,3,1,1,3,3,4,4,3,5] #list

Syntax:  
 max(iterable, *[, key, default])
 max(arg1, arg2, *args[, key])
 
  PARAMETER	       			     DESCRIPTION
  iterable    | An iterable object like string, list, tuple etc.
 (required)	
  default     | The default value to return if the iterable is empty.
 (optional)	
    key 	  | It refers to the single argument function to customize the sort 
 (optional)     order. The function is applied to each item on the iterable.
 
  
Example:
 max([2, 1, 4, 3]) # Output: 4
 max([], default=0) # supressing the error with default value, Output: 0
 max("c", "b", "a", "Y", "Z") # Output: c
 max("c", "b", "a", "Y", "Z", key=str.lower) # Output: Z
