Example 1: python largest value in list
>>> list = [1, 3, 2, 0]
>>> max(list)
3
Example 2: 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
Example 3: max value in python
# find largest item in the string
print(max("abcDEF"))
# find largest item in the list
print(max([2, 1, 4, 3]))
# find largest item in the tuple
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))
Example 4: how to get maximum value of number in python
float('inf')
Example 5: python max()
i = max(2, 4, 6, 3)
print(i)
# Result will be 6 because it is the highest number
Example 6: python max with custom function
nums = [1,2,3,1,1,3,3,4,4,3,5] #list
counts = collections.Counter(nums) # create a dict of counts
#using counts.get() fun as custom function
return max(counts.keys(), key=counts.get)
