This approach is without using
max()function
a = [1,2,3,4,6,7,99,88,999]
max_num = 0
for i in a:
if i > max_num:
max_num = i
print(max_num)
Also if you want to find the index of the resulting max,
print(a.index(max_num))
Direct approach by using function max()
max() function returns the item with the highest value, or the item with the highest value in an iterable
Example: when you have to find max on integers/numbers
a = (1, 5, 3, 9)
print(max(a))
>> 9
Example: when you have string
x = max("Mike", "John", "Vicky")
print(x)
>> Vicky
It basically returns the name with the highest value, ordered alphabetically.
