You don't need a lambda in this case. Sort the strings in reverse order: nums.sort(reverse=True) Create a string: biggestNum = ''.join(nums) Or in a single line, which doesn't change the original value of nums: biggestNum = ''.join(sorted(nums, reverse=True)) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
