min/max

Question

can someone explain what the min and max functions do?

Answer 1

suppose we have this array/list of numbers

a = [3,2,4,5]

print(min(a))
#output: 2

print(max(a))
#output: 5

min stands for minimum
max stands for maximum

The Python max() function is used to find the largest value in a list of values. The Python min() function is used to find the lowest value in a list. The list of values can contain either strings or numbers.

Answer 2

It changes positive values to negative
Example=27 will change to -27 by using abs function and vice versa

Answer 3

abs stands for absolute which returns the absolute value of the given number.

eg

print(abs(-3))
#output: 3

print(abs(3))
#output: 3

Answer 4

AJ. (INACTIVE) The abs() will return a floating point or an integer depending upon the argument.
AJ have a look at the code

Answer 5

min and max return minimum and maximum value from the list.
eg:
l = [52,68,46,53,20,43]
print(min(l))
#o/p 20

Print (max(l)
#o/p 68

Answer 6

min() returns the minimum value and max() returns the maximum value of any kind of list
a=[5, 2,1,4,6,2,7]
Print(min(a)) #output 1
Print(max(a)) #output 7
