Python | Get key with maximum value in Dictionary

To get the key associated with the maximum value in a dictionary, you can use the max function along with a lambda function for the key argument.

Here's how you can do this:

def get_key_with_max_val(dictionary): return max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get) # Example data = { 'a': 10, 'b': 25, 'c': 7 } print(get_key_with_max_val(data)) # Outputs: 'b'

In this example, max(dictionary, key=dictionary.get) will return the key associated with the highest value in the dictionary. The dictionary.get function returns the value for a given key, and the key argument of the max function allows us to specify a custom function (in this case, dictionary.get) to determine the maximum value.
