In this section, we will discuss some Python built-in functions, which can be applied to a list.
The syntax for the len() method is given as follows:
len(list)
The len() function returns the number of elements or values in the list, as shown in the following example:
>>> avengers = ['hulk', 'iron-man', 'Captain-America', 'Thor'] >>> len(avengers) 4 >>>
Let'ss see how to use the max () function on a list.
The syntax for the max () method is given as follows:
max (list)
The max (list) function returns the element of the list with the maximum value:
>>> list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4,510] >>> max (list1) 510 >>> list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4,510,510.0] >>> max (list1) 510 >>> list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4,510.0, 510] >>> max (list1) 510.0 >>> list2 = [800, "1"] >>> max (list2) '1' >>>
The working of the max () function for lists and tuples is the same. Max preference of a string is...
