I want to check what is the biggest string in a list
Is there any function for this? for example:
lis = ['rafa', 'now', 'lucky']
And it returns 'lucky' or 5

2`print(max(lis, key=lambda x: len(x)))` would do – ZdaR Aug 03 '19 at 03:10

4`max(len(x) for x in lis]` – John Gordon Aug 03 '19 at 03:10

I did this: ```python a = '' for i in table_head: if i > a: a = i else: pass ``` – rafa_rrayes Aug 03 '19 at 03:10

@rafa_rrayes Please [edit] the question. Comments aren't great for posting code. – wjandrea Aug 03 '19 at 03:10

@rafa_rrayes what have you tried so far / what are you having problems with? – viraptor Aug 03 '19 at 03:11

3@ZdaR `len` is already a function, so you can remove the lambda: `print(max(lis, key=len))` – wjandrea Aug 03 '19 at 03:17
