Python Program to Find Largest Number in a List

This is a Python Program to find the largest number in a list.

The program takes a list and prints the largest number in the list.

1. Take in the number of elements and store it in a variable.
2. Take in the elements of the list one by one.
3. Sort the list in ascending order.
4. Print the last element of the list.
5. Exit.

Here is source code of the Python Program to find the largest number in a list. The program output is also shown below.

a=[]
n=int(input("Enter number of elements:"))
for i in range(1,n+1):
    b=int(input("Enter element:"))
    a.append(b)
a.sort()
print("Largest element is:",a[n-1])

1. User must enter the number of elements and store it in a variable.
2. User must then enter the elements of the list one by one using a for loop and store it in a list.
3. The list should then be sorted.
4. Then the last element of the list is printed which is also the largest element of the list.

 
Case 1:
Enter number of elements:3
Enter element:23
Enter element:567
Enter element:3
Largest element is: 567
 
Case 2:
Enter number of elements:4
Enter element:34
Enter element:56
Enter element:24
Enter element:54
