Question

In Python, write a function that takes in an arbitrary list of numeric triples (tuples of size 3), and returns a new list containing the maximum elements from each

Answer 1

Explanation is in comments wherever needed.

First I have simply written program to print list of max element from each tuple from better understanding.

Then I have written a function as you asked for in the question.

Code:

# List of tuples

listTuples = [(1, 2, 3), (3, 4, 5), (5, 6, 4), (6,5,8), (4,8,5), (5,8,2)]

  

# initialization of required result list

result = []

# iterating over the list of tuples

for tup in listTuples :

    # temporary variable t to store max element

    t = max (tup) #max function to find the max value

    result.append(t) # append max value in the list

  

# printing output

print(result)

#implemantation using function

def listMax(listTup):

    # initialization of required result list

    result = []

    # iterating over the list of tuples

    for tup in listTuples :

        # temporary variable t to store max element

        t = max (tup) #max function to find the max value

        result.append(t) # append max value in the list

    

    # returning teh list of max of tuples

    return result

# List of tuple

listTuples1 = [(1, 2, 3), (3, 4, 5), (5, 6, 4), (6,5,8), (4,8,5), (5,8,2)]

# invoking listMax function to get list of max of each tuples

listMax1 = listMax(listTuples1)

# Print the list got from the function

print(listMax1)
