your key is lambda x: - len(x) it will take the opposite of the length, so: len('love') =4 and len('SoloLearn') =9 but - 9<-4 so the min will be 'SoloLearn' with this key.

no, because without a key, python just compare the elements of the list. but strings comparison is an alphabetical comparison. and it looks like capital letters come before lowercase letters so: 'SoloLearn'<'love' but 'Love'<'SoloLearn'

Stefan Reimer Run this https://code.sololearn.com/c7S4Mxsbwa9l/?ref=app The letters WE use each have a number assigned to them which the PROGRAMS use. 'S' has a smaller number than 'l', so min(less) returns Sololearn because of the capital 'S', against 'love' which starts with 'l'. Hope this helps

Is "sololearn" the output from (min(less)) cause "Love" has a "v"in it?
