I have a dictionary with keys that are ints. I would like to get the largest key. I don't keep track of keys so they might be consecutive (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6) but might skip (1,3,4,5) although I doubt that makes any difference.
Do I just use a binary search or is there a method? As far as I see you can hardly beat binary search for such a simple task - maybe you can halve it.

If you have a dict with string-integer mappings, you can use the max method on the dictionary's item pairs to get the largest value.
To check the length of a Python dictionary, we can easily use Python's built-in function len(). This function gives the number of lengths which is available in the dictionary in the form of key-value pairs. Len() function always return the number of iterable items given in the dictionary.
Python Dictionary get() Method The get() method returns the value of the item with the specified key.
If you have LINQ available, you should be able to do:
myDictionary.Keys.Max(); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
