Find largest number in a list of numbers - Python

There are multiple ways to find the largest number in a list using Python. Here are 2 basic methods I have used regularly.

Using max() function

# list
my_list = [10, 20, 4, 45, 99]
  
# printing the last element
print("Largest element is:", max(my_list))

Sort the list in ascending order & print last element

# list
my_list = [10, 20, 4, 45, 99]
  
# sorting the list
my_list.sort()
  
# printing the last element
print("Largest element is:", my_list[-1])
