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

You can actually sort it:

sorted(l,reverse=True)

---

l = [1, 2, 3]
sort=sorted(l,reverse=True)
print(sort)

You get:

[3,2,1]

But still if want to get the max do:

print(sort[0])

You get:

3

if second max:

print(sort[1])

and so on...
