Find the greatest number in a list of numbers

Question

Is there any easy way or function to determine the greatest number in a python list? I could just code it, as I only have three numbers, however it would make the code a lot

Answer 1

max is a builtin function in python, which is used to get max value from a sequence, i.e (list, tuple, set, etc..)

print(max([9, 7, 12, 5]))

# prints 12
