There are 3 keys, NSW, QLD and VIC. I want to find the minimum out of each list, then print the highest number ouf these 'minimums' possibly through ascribing a value

THIS IS A SECTION of a larger question: What I have done so far is,

rainfall_and_state = {}
is_first_line = True

for row in open("climate_data_2017.csv"):
  if is_first_line:
    is_first_line = False
  else:
    values = row.split(",")
    month = values[0].split("-")[1]
    rainfall = float(values[6])
    state = values[1]

    if state in rainfall_and_state:
      rainfall_and_state[state].append(rainfall)
    else:
      rainfall_and_state[state] = [rainfall]

this section is wrong i think

minimum = {}
for key in rainfall_and_state:
  rainfalls = rainfall_and_state[key]
  minimum_rainfall = min(rainfall_and_state)
  minimum[key] = minimum_rainfall

print(rainfall_and_state)

if you want me to attach the larger question, I can do so if it better explains

Answer 1

Minimum of each list

>>> l = [(k, min(v)) for k,v in d.items()] 

[('VIC', 0.0), ('QLD', 0.2), ('NSW', 0.2)]

Max among them:

>>> max(x[1] for x in l)

0.2

To get the key, value:

>>> max(l, key=lambda x: x[1])

('QLD', 0.2)
