python遍历元组最大值,在Python中的元组列表中找到最大值

I have a list with ~10^6 tuples in it like this:

[(101, 153), (255, 827), (361, 961), ...]

^ ^

X Y

I want to find the maximum value of the Ys in this list, but also want to know the X that it is bound to.

How do I do this?

解决方案

Use max():

Using itemgetter():

In [53]: lis=[(101, 153), (255, 827), (361, 961)]

In [81]: from operator import itemgetter

In [82]: max(lis,key=itemgetter(1))[0] #faster solution

Out[82]: 361

using lambda:

In [54]: max(lis,key=lambda item:item[1])

Out[54]: (361, 961)

In [55]: max(lis,key=lambda item:item[1])[0]

Out[55]: 361

timeit comparison:

In [30]: %timeit max(lis,key=itemgetter(1))

1000 loops, best of 3: 232 us per loop

In [31]: %timeit max(lis,key=lambda item:item[1])

1000 loops, best of 3: 556 us per loop
