The function find_max_char takes one string parameter, mystr. The function returns the character in mystr with the maximum ordinal value (the character that comes last in the ASCII alphabet, relative to the other characters in mystr). However, if mystr is the empty string, the function returns the Python object None.
Notice that we don't need the ord() function to compare ordinal values; we can use comparison operators. For example, "Z" > "C" is true because Z comes after C in the ASCII alphabet.
We need to "accumulate" the correct answer (max_char) and then return it:
First, if mystr is empty, return None
Then initialize max_char (accumulator variable) to the first character in mystr
Use a for loop to iterate ch over the characters in mystr
Each time a new maximum character is found (if ch > max_char), max_char is updated to "remember" that the new maximum is ch
Finally, return max_char
For example:
Test
Result
print(find_max_char("naproxen"))

- This exercise is to write a Decimal to Hex function using BYTE operations. You can use a List, Dictionary or Tuple for your Hex_Map as shown below, but it's not necessary to use one. It is necessary to use Byte operations to convert the decimal to hex. The bitwise operations are also available as __dunders__. Write a function to convert a integer to hexidecimal. Do not use the Python hex function (i.e. hexnumber = hex(number)) to convert the number, instead write your own unique version (i.e. MYHEX: hexnumber = MYHEX(number)).
