Python: Calculate the maximum and minimum sum of a sublist in a given list of lists
Python List: Exercise - 182 with Solution
Write a Python program to calculate the maximum and minimum sum of a sublist in a given list of lists.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def max_min_sublist(lst):
max_result = (max(lst, key=sum))
min_result = (min(lst, key=sum))
return max_result,min_result
nums = [[1,2,3,5], [2,3,5,4], [0,5,4,1], [3,7,2,1], [1,2,1,2]]
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
result = max_min_sublist(nums)
print("\nMaximum sum of sub list of the said list of lists:")
print(result[0])
print("\nMinimum sum of sub list of the said list of lists:")
print(result[1])
Sample Output:
Original list: [[1, 2, 3, 5], [2, 3, 5, 4], [0, 5, 4, 1], [3, 7, 2, 1], [1, 2, 1, 2]] Maximum sum of sub list of the said list of lists: [2, 3, 5, 4] Minimum sum of sub list of the said list of lists: [1, 2, 1, 2]
