Max list

Question

x =input(list())
i =0
max =x[0]
while i < len(x)-1:
if x[i]>=x[i+1]:
max =x[i]
else:
max=x[i+1]
i+=1
print('The greatest number is: ', max)
Hi, I don't understand where is the error. Thanks

Answer 1

An example:

your list x = 1,3,5,7,2
int max = x[0] //1

start your loop at i = 1;
compare max with x[i]

if(max < x[i]) --> max = x[i]
you don't need else because you don't want to change max if it is larger than x[i]

1 < 3 --> max = 3
3 < 5 --> max = 5
5 < 7 --> max = 7
7 > 2 --> max = 7
