Description from the creator

I have spent my morning hours with an important mission: finding the cleanest, fastest, and most concise answer to this question. I realized that many answers on the web use libraries which is not necessary for this simple problem.

In short: use the max function with the key argument. It’s a simple but powerful solution to get the key from a dictionary with the highest value (maximum) – without using any library call:

~~~~
# Python Code
income = {'John' : 213000,
'Mary' : 23000,
'Alice' : 878000}

print(max(income, key=income.get))
# Alice
~~~~
