Python - Maximum in Row Range

Python – Maximum in Row Range

Last Updated : 12 Nov, 2020

Given a range and a Matrix, extract the maximum element out of that range of rows.

Input : test_list = [[4, 3, 6], [9, 1, 3], [4, 5, 2], [9, 10, 3], [5, 9, 12], [3, 14, 2]], i, j = 2, 5
Output : 12
Explanation : Checks for rows 2, 3 and 4, maximum element is 12.
Input : test_list = [[4, 3, 6], [9, 1, 3], [4, 5, 2], [9, 10, 3], [5, 9, 12], [3, 14, 2]], i, j = 1, 4
Output : 10
Explanation : Checks for rows 1, 2 and 3, maximum element is 10.

Method #1 : Using max() + slicing

In this, we perform the task of slicing the rows in which maximum has to be found, then the maximum is found for each row using max(), another max() is applied to get maximum upon extracted elements.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Maximum in Rows Range
# Using max() + slicing
  
# initializing list
test_list = [[4, 3, 6], [9, 1, 3], [4, 5, 2],
             [9, 10, 3], [5, 9, 12], [3, 14, 2]]
  
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
  
# initializing range
i, j = 2, 4
  
res = 0
for idx in range(i, j):
  
    # getting max in range
    res = max(max(test_list[idx]), res)
  
# printing result
print("The maximum element in row range ? : " + str(res))

Output:

The original list is : [[4, 3, 6], [9, 1, 3], [4, 5, 2], [9, 10, 3], [5, 9, 12], [3, 14, 2]]
The maximum element in row range ? : 10

Method #2 : Using max() + slicing + list comprehension

In this, we perform the similar task as above using list comprehension to offer one liner to this operation.

# Maximum in Rows Range
# Using max() + slicing + list comprehension
  
# initializing list
test_list = [[4, 3, 6], [9, 1, 3], [4, 5, 2],
             [9, 10, 3], [5, 9, 12], [3, 14, 2]]
  
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
  
# initializing range
i, j = 2, 4
  
# getting max of maximum of sub lists
res = max([max(test_list[idx]) for idx in range(i, j)])
  
# printing result
print("The maximum element in row range ? : " + str(res))
