dictionary maximum value python code example
Example 1: python how to find the highest number in a dictionary
a_dictionary = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
max_key = max(a_dictionary, key=a_dictionary.get)
get key with max value
print(max_key)
Example 2: python get the key with the max or min value in a dictionary
key_with_max_value = max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)
max_value = dictionary[max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)]
max_value = max(dictionary.values())
dictionary = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)
--> 'c'
Example 3: python get min max value from a dictionary
d = {'A': 4,'B':10}
min_v = min(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
max_v = max(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
Example 4: max element in dictionary python
import operator
stats = {'a':1000, 'b':3000, 'c': 100}
max(stats.iteritems(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))[0]
