Python: Find the list with maximum and minimum length
Python List: Exercise - 91 with Solution
Write a Python program to find a list with maximum and minimum lengths.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def max_length_list(input_list):
max_length = max(len(x) for x in input_list )
max_list = max(input_list, key = len)
return(max_length, max_list)
def min_length_list(input_list):
min_length = min(len(x) for x in input_list )
min_list = min(input_list, key = len)
return(min_length, min_list)
list1 = [[0], [1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [13, 15, 17]]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print("\nList with maximum length of lists:")
print(max_length_list(list1))
print("\nList with minimum length of lists:")
print(min_length_list(list1))
list1 = [[0], [1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [3, 5, 7]]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print("\nList with maximum length of lists:")
print(max_length_list(list1))
print("\nList with minimum length of lists:")
print(min_length_list(list1))
list1 = [[12], [1, 3], [1, 34, 5, 7], [9, 11], [3, 5, 7]]
print("Original list:")
print(list1)
print("\nList with maximum length of lists:")
print(max_length_list(list1))
print("\nList with minimum length of lists:")
print(min_length_list(list1))
Sample Output:
Original list: [[0], [1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [13, 15, 17]] List with maximum length of lists: (3, [13, 15, 17]) List with minimum length of lists: (1, [0]) Original list: [[0], [1, 3], [5, 7], [9, 11], [3, 5, 7]] List with maximum length of lists: (3, [3, 5, 7]) List with minimum length of lists: (1, [0]) Original list: [[12], [1, 3], [1, 34, 5, 7], [9, 11], [3, 5, 7]] List with maximum length of lists: (4, [1, 34, 5, 7]) List with minimum length of lists: (1, [12])

Python: Tips of the Day
Decapitalizes the first letter of a string:
Example:
def tips_decapitalize(s, upper_rest=False): return s[:1].lower() + (s[1:].upper() if upper_rest else s[1:]) print(tips_decapitalize('PythonTips')) print(tips_decapitalize('PythonTips', True))
