算法/查找最大值/Python 方法 1

Python (2.7 和 3.6) 源代码。该代码需要检阅。

def findmax(a):

    if len(a) == 0:
        return 0

    curr_max = a[0]

    for i in a:
        if i > curr_max:
            curr_max = i

    return curr_max

函数的使用示例

print(findmax([12, 13, 555, 124, 342]))

输出应为：555

该算法的另一种实现

def imax( iterable, key=lambda x: x ):
    """returns largest item, as input could take iterator or sequence
    "key" function will be applied on every item, before comparison is made
    >>> imax( [12,3,4, 89, 90,88] )
    90
    """
    current_max = None
    for x in iterable:
        if current_max is None or key(x) > key( current_max ):
            current_max = x
    return current_max

函数的使用示例

print(imax( [12, 13, 555, 124, 342] ))
print(imax( [12, 13, 555, 124, 342], lambda x: 1.0/x ))
