Stefan Krah added the comment: I'd use foldl() in functional languages, where the default is part of foldl() and not of max().
Translated to Python, I'm thinking of: it = iter([328, 28, 2989, 22]) functools.reduce(max, it, next(it, None)) 2989 I agree with Raymond that a default arg in max() looks out of place. ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
