Question

Define a function called max_association(), which recieves 2 lists, lst1, which is a list of strings, and lst2, which is a list of integers. The function must return a list of strings associated to the highest integers in lst1. Assume both lists have the same length

As an example, the following code fragment:

L1 = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j'] L2 = [1,2,3,1,3,2,3,1,2,1] result = max_association(L1,L2) print(result)

should produce the output:

['c', 'e', 'g']

Answer 1

def max_association(lst1, lst2):
    if(lst2!=None and len(lst2)>0):
        maxValue = lst2[0]
        for x in lst2:
            if(maxValue < x):
                maxValue = x
        result = []
        for i in range(len(lst1)):
            if(lst2[i]==maxValue):
                result.append(lst1[i])
        return result


# Testing
L1 = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j']
L2 = [1,2,3,1,3,2,3,1,2,1]
result = max_association(L1,L2)
print(result)

['c', e','g') Process finished with exit code 0
