Exam PCEP-30-02 topic 1 question 44 discussion

The expected output of the code is: A. efg Explanation: The max() function returns the largest item in an iterable. When applied to a list of strings, it compares the strings lexicographically (i.e., based on the ASCII values of the characters). In this case, the comparison is done character by character from left to right. Here's how the comparison works for the given list: 'abc' vs 'def' -> 'def' is larger 'def' vs 'abcde' -> 'def' is larger 'def' vs 'efg' -> 'efg' is larger Therefore, the largest string in the list according to lexicographical order is 'efg'. The expected output of the code is: A. efg This is because the max function, when applied to a list of strings, returns the string that would appear last if the list were sorted lexicographically.

A is correct

a is the correct answer. In terms of chars efg are greater than all other options.
