Looking to find max from the combine list as follows:

[\'filename1\', 1696, \'filename2\', 5809,....]

I have tried following:<

Answer 1

The same isinstance idea can be applied to a filter:

f = ['filename1', 1696, 'filename2', 5809]
max(filter(lambda i: isinstance(i, int), f))

Also, if you need to include more than one data type in your comparison, e.g.: floats, you can simple use a tuple to validate the the data to be compared:

max(filter(lambda i: isinstance(i, (int, float)), f))
