Python: Find the maximum and minimum values in a given list of tuples
Python List: Exercise - 158 with Solution
Write a Python program to find the maximum and minimum values in a given list of tuples.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
from operator import itemgetter
def max_min_list_tuples(class_students):
return_max = max(class_students,key=itemgetter(1))[1]
return_min = min(class_students,key=itemgetter(1))[1]
return return_max, return_min
class_students = [('V', 60), ('VI', 70), ('VII', 75), ('VIII', 72), ('IX', 78), ('X', 70)]
print("Original list with tuples:")
print(class_students)
print("\nMaximum and minimum values of the said list of tuples:")
print(max_min_list_tuples(class_students))
Sample Output:
Original list with tuples: [('V', 60), ('VI', 70), ('VII', 75), ('VIII', 72), ('IX', 78), ('X', 70)] Maximum and minimum values of the said list of tuples: (78, 60)
