列表中的最大值

Question

I have a list that consists of temperatures

['24', '7', '5', '34', '41', '41', '4', '24', '45', '41']

when I attempt to get the max value by using

maxTList = ['24', '7', '5', '34', '41', '41', '4', '24', '45', '41']
print(max(maxTList))

I got a return value of 7 . What gives? Where am I going wrong? I am expecting to return a value of 45 .

Answer 1

What you have are strings, not numbers. You can cast them to ints when computing the max or change your entire list to ints:

max(maxTList, key=int)

or

num_list = [int(x) for x in maxTList]
max(num_list)
