Introduction:

In this tutorial, we are going to explain how to use Python list max function with basic syntax and many examples for better understanding.

Python list max is used to get a maximum value of a list.

Syntax:

max(list_variable_name)

Input Parameters:

• list_variable_name : where tuple is a list variable whose maximum value needs to be found.

Example

number=[1,2,3]
alphanumeric=['x','A','a']
# maximum value of list
print('max of number:', max(number))
print('max of alphanumeric:', max(alphanumeric))

Output

max of number: 3
max of alphanumeric: x

In the above Example, If comparing values of list variable ‘number’ ,value ‘3’ is larger than value ‘1’ and ‘2’ so output of max(number) is ‘3’ and for list variable ‘alphanumeric’, let’s take ASCII code of  list values(x,A,a) is (120, 65,97) respectively. If comparing ASCII values, 120 is larger than 65 and 97 so output of max(alphanumeric) is 120 which is indicated by ‘x’.
