The min and max Functions

Python has two built-in functions named min and max that work with sequences.

The min function accepts a sequence, such as a list, as an argument and returns the item that has the lowest value in the sequence.

The max function accepts a sequence, such as a list, as an argument and returns the item that has the highest value in the sequence.

my_list = [5, 4, 3, 2, 50, 40, 30]

print('The lowest value is', min(my_list))

print('The highest value is', max(my_list))
