Post labs are to be done individually. Sharing files between students is not allowed. Doing so is an Academic Integrity violation, and will be treated as such.
Lists allow us to store a lot of data at once. Often the difficult part of working with lists is not the storage, but processing the data within. To demonstrate your knowledge of using lists, write a function that processes the data within a list.
Write a function called find_maximum(an_integer_list).
This function takes a single parameter, a list of integers. Your
function should return an integer value: the largest value contained
in the list. DO NOT USE THE max FUNCTION FOR
THIS ACTIVITY.
Make sure your program handles all necessary cases gracefully. What additional test cases should you check?
| Function Parameters | Sample Output |
|---|---|
| [1, 2, 3] | 3 |
| [0] | 0 |
