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
