find max() value

[tuxandrew]

Maybe I don't fully understand the problem. I assume that objective is to print rows integers maximum value. One can just:

with open('testname.txt', 'r') as f:
    header = next(f)
    for row in f:
        data = row.split()
        print(f"Maximum value on {data[0]}'s row is {max(data[1:], key=lambda x: int(x))}")

If row number instead of name needed one can use enumerate and start at appropriate number (is header row #1?).

This code will output:

Output:
Maximum value on mark's row is 50
Maximum value on teo's row is 60
Maximum value on jain's row is 70
Maximum value on lue's row is 80
Maximum value on hed's row is 40

EDIT:
It is also possible to split and assign names in one go. If appropriate names are used it can deliver better readability. Also no need for lambda, int can be called directly.

name, *values = row.split()      # name is string and values is list
print(f"Maximum value on {name}'s row is {max(values, key=int)}")

Thank you for your assistance.
