max of list python code example

Example 1: python index of max value in list

# any list
a = [1, 7, 3, 12, 5]

# index of minimum element
# if more than 1 minimum, 
# first index is returned
min_index = a.index(min(a))

# index of maximum element
max_index = a.index(max(a))

Example 2: python largest value in list

>>> list = [1, 3, 2, 0]
>>> max(list)
3

Example 3: max of list with index

a.index(max(a))

Example 4: max int in a python list

>>> L=[2,-7,3,3,6,2,5]
>>> max(L)
6

Example 5: python index max list

number_list = [1, 2, 3]
max_value = max(number_list)
# Return the max value of the list
max_index = number_list.index(max_value)
# Find the index of the max value
print(max_index)

Example 6: python find max in list

# Python program to find largest 
# number in a list 

# list of numbers 
list1 = [10, 20, 4, 45, 99] 


# printing the maximum element 
print("Largest element is:", max(list1))
