SQL not a single-group group function

Well the problem simply-put is that the SUM(TIME) for a specific SSN on your query is a single value, so it’s objecting to MAX as it makes no sense (The maximum of a single value is meaningless). Not sure what SQL database server you’re using but I suspect you want a query more like this … Read more

Getting key with maximum value in dictionary?

You can use operator.itemgetter for that: And instead of building a new list in memory use stats.iteritems(). The key parameter to the max() function is a function that computes a key that is used to determine how to rank items. Please note that if you were to have another key-value pair ‘d’: 3000 that this method will only return one of the two even though they … Read more

max value of integer

In C, the language itself does not determine the representation of certain datatypes. It can vary from machine to machine, on embedded systems the int can be 16 bit wide, though usually it is 32 bit. The only requirement is that short int <= int <= long int by size. Also, there is a recommendation that int should represent the native capacity of the processor. All types … Read more

numpy max vs amax vs maximum

np.max is just an alias for np.amax. This function only works on a single input array and finds the value of maximum element in that entire array (returning a scalar). Alternatively, it takes an axis argument and will find the maximum value along an axis of the input array (returning a new array). The default behaviour of np.maximum is to take two arrays and compute … Read more
