Program to print the key corresponding to the maximum value in dictionary

The program to print the key corresponding to the maximum value in dictionary is as follows:

 

# Owner : TutorialsInhand Author : Devjeet Roy

subject_marks = {
    "English" : 83,
    "Bengali" : 87,
    "Mathematics" : 98,
    "Physics" : 88,
    "Chemistry" : 91,
    "Computer Science" : 96
}

max_marks = 0
max_subject = None

for subject,marks in subject_marks.items():
    if marks > max_marks:
        max_marks = marks
        max_subject = subject


print("The subject with max marks is:",max_subject)

The output of the program is as follows:

 

PS C:\Users\DEVJEET\Desktop\tutorialsInHand> python code.py
The subject with max marks is: Mathematics

Few important tips about the program

1. Given a dictionary of subject wise marks acquired by a student in a Python dictionary, we have found the subject with maximum marks.

2. We iterate upon both the keys and values of the dictionary using the .items() method and check for maximum marks and do assign the max_subject and max_marks accordingly.
