问题
I am trying to return a tuple the smallest second index value (y value) from a list of tuples. If there are two tuples with the lowest y value, then select the tuple with the largest x value (i.e first index).
For example, suppose I have the tuple:
x = [(2, 3), (4, 3), (6, 9)]
The the value returned should be (4, 3). (2, 3) is a candidate, as x[0][1] is 3 (same as x[1][1]), however, x[0][0] is smaller than x[1][0].
So far I have tried:
start_point = min(x, key = lambda t: t[1])
However, this only checks the second index, and does not compare two tuples first index if their second index's are equivalent.
回答1:
Include the x value in a tuple returned from the key; this second element in the key will be then used when there is a tie for the y value. To inverse the comparison (from smallest to largest), just negate that value:
min(x, key=lambda t: (t[1], -t[0]))
After all, -4 is smaller than -2.
Demo:
>>> x = [(2, 3), (4, 3), (6, 9)]
>>> min(x, key=lambda t: (t[1], -t[0]))
(4, 3)
