Let’s say I have the following list:
[[2016, 'May', 16.9],
[2016, 'April', 17.5],
[2016, 'March', 17.8],
[2016, 'February', 18.6],
[2016, 'January', 18.8],
[2015, 'December', 19.1],
[2015, 'November', 19.2],
[2015, 'October', 20.0],
[2015, 'September', 20.6],
[2015, 'August', 21.2],
[2015, 'July', 21.6],
[2015, 'June', 21.3],
[2015, 'May', 21.5],
[2015, 'April', 21.6],
[2015, 'March', 22.1]]
I would like to get back the list as in [2015, 'March', 22.1], for where the last element is the highest out of the entire list.
What would be a good way?
>Solution :
Try using builtin max function with proper lambda.
max(data, key=lambda x: x[2])
