[issue6955] Max() Not Working Properly

[lovelygoo2]

New submission from lovelygoo2 <smergibblegibberish at usa.com>:

>>> max(['34', '7'])
'7'
>>> #This happens because it is comparing strings.
>>> #I have found a way to fix it though.
>>> def Max(li):
...    greatest=li[0]
...    for item in li:
...        for item2 in li:
...            if int(item)<int(item2) or int(item)<greatest:
...                break
...            else:
...                greatest=int(item)
...    return(greatest)
