Matching 2 different lists with highest values in Python-CodePudding

Array_student = [Joe, Peter, Andy, Tom, Pat]

Array_marks = [14, 9, 6, 8, 12]

Find the highest marks in the array and print the name of the student with the highest marks.

Without using any function such as max().

CodePudding user response：

You should use {} dict where the student name will be the key and the marks will be the value and then use sorting and take the first item of the new list

data = {'joe':14, 'Peter': 9, 'Andy': 6, 'Tom' : 8, 'Pat' : 12}
sort_data = sorted(data.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
next(iter(sort_data)) # outputs 'Peter'

for idx,mark in enumerate(Array_marks):

print(greatest_student) #Joe
