How do you find the maximum length of a list in a list?

To find the maximum length of a list within a list in Python, you can use the following approach:

1. Iterate through the outer list using a for loop.
2. For each inner list, use the len() function to get its length.
3. Keep track of the maximum length as you iterate through the list, and update it if the current list has a greater length.

Here is an example of how to find the maximum length of a list within a list:

# Create a list of lists
lists = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7], [8, 9], [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]]

# Initialize a variable to store the maximum length
max_length = 0

# Iterate through the list of lists
for inner_list in lists:
  # Get the length of the current inner list
  length = len(inner_list)
  # Update the maximum length if necessary
  if length > max_length:
    max_length = length

# Print the maximum length
print(max_length)  # Output: 4

In this example, we create a list of lists and then iterate through it using a for loop. For each inner list, we use the len() function to get its length and then update the maximum length if necessary. Finally, we print the maximum length of the inner lists.

You can also use the built-in max() function to find the maximum length of a list within a list, like this:

# Create a list of lists
lists = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7], [8, 9], [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]]

# Use the max() function to find the maximum length of the inner lists
max_length = max(len(inner_list) for inner_list in lists)

# Print the maximum length
print(max_length)  # Output: 4

This approach uses a list comprehension to generate a list of the lengths of the inner lists and then passes that list to the max() function to find the maximum length.
