Python: Find maximum and the minimum value in a set

Python sets: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the maximum and minimum values in a set.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Create a set 'setn' with elements 5, 10, 3, 15, 2, and 20.
setn = {5, 10, 3, 15, 2, 20}

# Print a message to indicate the original set elements.
print("Original set elements:")

# Print the contents of 'setn'.
print(setn)

# Print the type of 'setn'.
print(type(setn))

# Print a message to indicate finding the maximum value in the set.
print("\nMaximum value of the said set:")

# Use the 'max()' function to find and print the maximum value in 'setn'.
print(max(setn))

# Print a message to indicate finding the minimum value in the set.
print("\nMinimum value of the said set:")

# Use the 'min()' function to find and print the minimum value in 'setn'.
print(min(setn)) 

Sample Output:

Original set elements:
{2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20}
<class 'set'>

Maximum value of the said set:
20

Minimum value of the said set:
2
