to get the largest value of this list?

2.. max(numbers)

4. sum(numbers)

Answer 1

To get the highest value of the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] assigned to the variable 'numbers', option (2) max(numbers) would be the answer.

max is a function used to return the highest value in the argument. Its opposite would be min, which returns the lowest element in the argument.

high and large aren't functions/methods in Python. sum however, is a function, that returns the sum of the elements. sum(numbers) would return 15 as 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15.

Other related list functions include:

• append() - used to add a single element towards the end of a list.
• extend() - used to add multiple elements in the form of a list towards the end of a list.
• sort() - sorts the list in ascending/descending [sort(reverse = True)] order.
• clear() - clears the list/empties the list.
• index() - returns the index position of the element specified.
• insert() - used to insert an element at the specified index position.
