Examining the List for the Maximum

(Menu)   A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I
The normal code is put in a try() block.
maxFloat() is set to the first number in the list.
All the other items are inspected. Any higher value replaces maxFloat().

myFloats = [4.5, 2.6, 3.8, 3.5, 1.0, 5.7] try:     maxFloat = myFloats[0]     for item in myFloats:         if item > maxFloat:             maxFloat = item     print("Maximum is", maxFloat) except:     print("Maximum is undefined.")

5.7

If the search for a maximum fails for any reason()
  an exception is raised and reported but the program doesn't crash.
