From a list of many dataframes. How can i get the df with the max and min lenght?

Question

For example, if i have:

list=[df1,df2,df3,df4]

How can python identify and get the df with the maximum number of rows? or len And if you have 2 dfs with the min or max value, it can take any of these.

Answer 1

You can use max() function with a key that specifies the way you look at the magnitude of your data:

max_df = max(list_, key=len)
min_df = min(list_, key=len)

NOTE there is an implicit mistake in your code that you might wanna correct. you have overwritten the python keyword list . add an underscore for example to the end of it to avoid any unwanted error

UPDATE: the key=lambda x:len(x) replaced by key=len , thanks to @rafaelc comment
