How to find the max prime number in a list with Python

Answer 1

import math
 
def is_prime(num):
    if num == 0:
        return 0
    if num == 1:
        return 0
    for p in range(2, int(round(math.sqrt(num))) + 1):
        if int(round(num % p)) == 0:
            return 0
    return 1


lst = [4, 8, 5, 17, 9, 22, 21, 13, 18, 99]
maxp = lst[0]

for i in range(len(lst)): 
    if is_prime(lst[i]): # 17 5 13
       if (maxp < lst[i]): 
            maxp = lst[i]


print(maxp)
