I want to use a list comp to get the length of the longest string in a list, but can't quite get the syntax right.
l1=['abc', 'abcde', 'abcfdtea'] longest=0 [x for x in l1 if len(x) > longest] The problem is I can't add the true clause to the if statement in a list comp as in if len(x) > longest: longest = len(x) Is this possible using a list comp? thanks
