I have a little piece of python code in the server script for my website which looks a little bit like this:
console.append([str(x) for x in data])
console.append(str(max(data)))
quite simple, you might think, however the result it's outputting is this:
['3', '12', '3']
3
for some reason python thinks 3 is the max of [3,12,3]!
So am I doing something wrong? Or this is misbehaviour on the part of python?
