Erlang list question

Question

I have a list with tuples in Erlang for example:

[{1, "AAA"}, {2, "AAA"}, {3, "AAAAAAAA"}]

How can i get tuple from this list with max first element from this tuples?

Thank you.

Answer 1

In this case lists:max/1 will return what you want. For this to work all tuples must have the same number of elements.
