How to find the min/max value of a common key in a list of dicts?
lst = [{‘price’: 99, ‘barcode’: ‘2342355’}, {‘price’: 88, ‘barcode’: ‘2345566’}] maxPricedItem = max(lst, key=lambda x:x[‘price’]) minPricedItem = min(lst, key=lambda x:x[‘price’]) This tells you not just what the max price is but also which item is most expensive.
