Using Python's max to return two equally large values

Question

I\'m using Python\'s max function to find the largest integer in a dictionary called count, and the corresponding key (not quite sure if I\'m saying it properly

Answer 1

Same idea as Asterisk, but without iterating over the list twice. Bit more verbose.

count = { 'a': 120, 'b': 120, 'c': 100 }
answers = []
highest = -1

def f(x):
    global highest, answers
    if count[x] > highest:
        highest = count[x]
        answers = [x]
    elif count[x] == highest:
        answers.append(x)

map(f, count.keys())
print answers
