Python Program to Find Largest of n Number in a list

Hi Dev,

In this short tutorial we will cover an Python Program to Find Largest of n Number in a list. I’m going to show you about Largest among N numbers. you will learn Python: Get the largest number from a list. let’s discuss about write a python program to print the largest of n numbers. So, let's follow few step to create example of Maximum N numbers in Python.

The objective of this Python post, you will see various Python programs that cover the following:

let's see below simple example with output:

Example 1: Python program to find largest of n numbers using max

lst = []

 
num = int(input('How many numbers: '))

 
for n in range(num):
    numbers = int(input('Enter number '))
    lst.append(numbers)

     
print("Maximum element in the list is :", max(lst))

Output:

How many numbers:  5
Enter number  8
Enter number  13
Enter number  18
Enter number  21
Enter number  5
Maximum element in the list is : 21

Example 2: Python program to find largest of n numbers without using built-in function

def find_max( list ):
    max = list[ 0 ]
    for a in list:
        if a > max:
            max = a
    return max

 

 
num = int(input('How many numbers: '))

 
lst = []

 
for n in range(num):
    numbers = int(input('Enter number '))
    lst.append(numbers)

     
print("Maximum element in the list is :", find_max(lst))

Output:

How many numbers:  3
Enter number  5
Enter number  9
Enter number  4
Maximum element in the list is : 9
