Python’s min() and max(): Find Smallest and Largest Values

Python’s built-in min() and max() functions come in handy when you need to find the smallest and largest values in an iterable or in a series of regular arguments. Even though these might seem like fairly basic computations, they turn out to have many interesting use cases in real-world programing. You’ll try out some of those use cases here.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

• Use Python’s min() and max() to find smallest and largest values in your data
• Call min() and max() with a single iterable or with any number of regular arguments
• Use min() and max() with strings and dictionaries
• Tweak the behavior of min() and max() with the key and default arguments
• Use comprehensions
