Whenever I watch a video of you, I wish if somehow I could steal all the knowledge you have. Thanks for all these videos.

[codexplainer]

strings = ["I", "like", "Python"]

longest_string = max(strings, key=len)

print("The longest string is:", longest_string)


This will be the simplest method to find longest string.

When someone says "best way" or "always do this" or "never do that", I immideately know they have ko idea what they are talking about

[malayagr]

sorted_l = sorted(l, key=lambda string: len(string))
print(sorted_l[-1])

[victorsgbaptista]

Nice tip, never noticed that the max function can take a list as argument, not to mention the keyword arguments shown!

[antxnioo]

yea, but schools want you to think about this algorithm, not using a built in function

[pangjianghan]

Thanks for sharing. Short but nice video

[westsidecourtesy]

I love when these pop up on my timeline

[pattmehta]

key=len in max is very handy in lots of list algorithms

[kekw]

Sorry for the late comment, but this is just a way to compress several lines of code into one, correct?

Does this actually impact the complexity of this problem or does it stay as O(n^2)?
Thank you in advance.

Your videos are more informative! Can you please explain the following part in your way (stack overflow question)

Why is in so fast in Python 3?

[lakshminarayanan]

If it have three value of same length it's retrieving only first value

[rondamon]

I have to confess that I didn't know this trick until last week

[NEERAJ_G]

I am a beginner. What are we doing when we give key=len inside max?

[tiiibo]

hey what theme are you using? i like it lol.

[htcsaj]

Nice content. How to make app that scrape data from more than one site with specific keywords and then get notifications when new post from that sites appears and then show it that data on website

[totallynotampmdenjoyer]

I’m still confused as to the first example of:
MAX_Length = 0

But aside from that great vid as always

[parshuram]

this will works only 4 strings what about integers .ex. 200 and 00200

[liri]

Why is the len function written without () ? I don't know such syntax

[thegoose]

how much is your "fancy" way slower/faster than the normal one?
