<p>I know this solution is an year old, but can someone please help me understand whats going on inside the max function? I took that code in a python shell and understand that it is some sort of a generator... does it mean that the code cycles through all the dictionary items and keeps retaining the highest "v" value? </p>

Look up in the Dict()
