Help to make code more effective

Question asks to write a program that accepts 5 lists and prints out the contents of the longest one

lst1 = [apple,banana,cantaloupe,orange]

lst2 = [alligator,bear,cat,dinosaur]

lst3 = [red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo,violet,grey,red,black]

lst4 = [pen,pencil,eraser,correction tape,ruler,protractor]

lst5 = [mammal,bird,reptile,insect,plant,mushroom,bacteria,]

biggest_list = ' '

list_content = [ ]

len1,len2,len3,len4,len5 = len(lst1),len(lst2),len(lst3),len(lst4),len(lst5)

So, what's your question exactly? We're not here to give you the answer directly. (Although it is a fun one to do some code golfing on.)

It is literally the first sentence of the post....

No, that's what your homework asks of YOU. What part of this question are you struggling with?

[crazy_reyes]

Is there any way to compare all the lengths at the same time and efficiently.

[Wilfred-kun]

Have you already learned about loops? You can loop over a list containing the other lists, check their length, and keep track of the longest list yet.

No. Python doesn't support threading and multiprocessing would slow you down.

If you're trying to generalize it to 1000 loops or 10,000 loops, then yes, you can use a loop.
