Python set max Example
The set max function helps you to find the maximum items from the total number of items in a given set. The below code returns the item with the highest Numeric Value from a maximumSet.
TIP: Check out the Python set article available on our Python tutorial page to understand the creation of sets.
maximumSet = {15, 25, 35, 45, 55}
print("\nSet Items = ", maximumSet)
print("Maximum Value in a Set = ", max(maximumSet))
This is another example of the set max function. Please refer to the Python max and Python set min functions from the list of available Python set functions.
maximumFruitSet = {'mango', 'kiwi', 'apple', 'orange', 'banana'}
print("\nSet Items = ", maximumFruitSet)
# Python Set Maximum
print("Maximum Value in a Set = ", max(maximumFruitSet))
Set Items = {'banana', 'mango', 'kiwi', 'orange', 'apple'}
Maximum Value in a Set = orange
