Find the maximum of a list of numbers

Find the maximum of a list of numbers

Aim:

To write a program to find the maximum of a list of numbers.

Equipment’s required:

1. Hardware – PCs
2. Anaconda – Python 3.7 Installation / Moodle-Code Runner

Algorithm:

Step 1:

Get the list of marks as input

Step 2:

Use the sort() function or max() function or use the for loop to find the maximum mark.

Step 3:

Return the maximum value

Program:

i) # To find the maximum of marks using the list method sort.

def max_marks(list1):
    l=list1[0]
    for i in list1:
        if i>l:
            l=i
    return l        

Sample input and output:

Output:

i) # To find the maximum of marks using the list method sort.

ii) # To find the maximum marks using the list method max().

iii) # To find the maximum marks without using builtin functions.

Result:

Thus the program to find the maximum of given numbers from the list is written and verified using python programming.
