Find longest element from a list in Python

In this tutorial we will learn  how find the longest elements from a list in python with some easy examples in many ways and situations and this type  of requirements

longest elements are use the max() function and  along with parameter

• The list is ordered, changeable, and allows duplicate values. Let us discuss two methods to find the longest string from a given Python List.  built-in function Use Python’s built-in max() function with a key argument to find the longest string in a list. Call max(lst, key=len) to return the longest string in list using the built-in len() function to associate the weight of each string—the longest string will be the maximum.

1. Using the max() function

lst = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "strawberry", "kiwi"]

longest_element = max(lst, key=len)

print("The longest element is:", longest_element)

 2. Using a for loop

lst = ["apple", "banana", "orange", "strawberry", "kiwi"]

longest_element = ""
for element in lst:
    if len(element) > len(longest_element):
        longest_element = element

print("The longest element is:", longest_element)

output

The longest element is: strawberry
