python find the key with max value

a_dictionary = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}

# get key with max value
max_key = max(a_dictionary, key=a_dictionary.get)

print(max_key)

python get the key with the max or min value in a dictionary

# Basic syntax:
key_with_max_value = max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)

# Note, to get the max value itself, you can do either of the following:
max_value = dictionary[max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)]
max_value = max(dictionary.values())

# Example usage:
dictionary = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get)
--> 'c'

python get min max value from a dictionary

d = {'A': 4,'B':10}
min_v = min(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
# min_v is (4,'A')

max_v = max(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
# max_v is (10,'B')

find the max value in dictionary python

my_dict = {'a': 5, 'b': 10, 'c': 6, 'd': 12, 'e': 7}
max(my_dict, key=my_dict.get) # returns 'd'

how to find min, max in dictionaries

# How to perform various calculations (min, max, sorting) in dict with .zip()

}

min_price = min(zip(prices.values(), prices.keys()))
