Question

#Write a function called find_max_sales. find_max_sales will
#have one parameter: a list of tuples. Each tuple in the
#list will have two items: a string and an integer. The
#string will represent the name of a movie, and the integer
#will represent that movie's total ticket sales (in millions
#of dollars).
#
#The function should return the movie from the list that
#had the most sales. Return only the movie name, not the
#full tuple.

#Below are some lines of code that will test your function.
#You can change the value of the variable(s) to test your
#function with different inputs.
#
#If your function works correctly, this will originally
#print: Rogue One
movie_list = [("Finding Dory", 486), ("Captain America: Civil War", 408), ("Deadpool", 363), ("Zootopia", 341), ("Rogue One", 529), ("The Secret Life of Pets", 368), ("Batman v Superman", 330), ("Sing", 268), ("Suicide Squad", 325), ("The Jungle Book", 364)]
print(find_max_sales(movie_list))

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here is the method which takes the movie_list, traverses each tuple using a for loop and then, assigns the maximum value tuple name to max_name variable.

Code:

def find_max_sales(movie_list):
  
maximum = 0
max_name = ''
for each_t in movie_list:
if each_t[1]> maximum:
maximum = each_t[1]
max_name = each_t[0]
  
return max_name

movie_list = [("Finding Dory", 486), ("Captain America: Civil War", 408), ("Deadpool", 363), ("Zootopia", 341), ("Rogue One", 529), ("The Secret Life of Pets", 368), ("Batman v Superman", 330), ("Sing", 268), ("Suicide Squad", 325), ("The Jungle Book", 364)]
print(find_max_sales(movie_list))
