DAY 20 of PYTHON top 100 questions : from Basic to Advanced !!
Hello, I'm Priya Chakraborty, a dedicated B.Tech student in Electrical Engineering at Siliguri Institute Of Technology. I'm an enthusiastic learner, constantly seeking to expand my skill set and knowledge base. With a solid foundation in programming languages such as C, R, Python, and MySQL, I'm poised to tackle complex technical challenges.
But my passions extend beyond the realm of engineering. I'm also an aspiring content writer, driven by a curiosity to communicate ideas, both technical and non-technical, in a way that captivates and educates.
My journey is defined by a relentless pursuit of self-improvement, coupled with strong communication skills. I believe in the power of continuous learning and the importance of sharing knowledge.
Write a Python program to find the largest and smallest element in an array:
a=[4,6,2,8,1,3,9,2,5,4,8,0,2,3,5,7,5,2]
a.sort()
print("The largest element is",a[-1])
print("The smallest element is",a[0])
Output :
The largest element is 9
The smallest element is 0
The sort() method is called on the list a, which rearranges the elements in ascending order. The list a will be modified to [0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9].
a[-1] refers to the last element in the list, which is the largest element in the sorted list.
a[0] refers to the first element in the list, which is the smallest element in the sorted list.
