title: Pythonic way to find maximum absolute value of list
body: <p>The following list is given:</p>
  
  <pre><code>lst = [3, 7, -10]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to find the maximum value of absolute value. For the above list it will be 10 (abs(-10) = 10).</p>
  
  <p>I can do it as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>max_abs_value = lst[0]
  for num in lst:
      if abs(num) &gt; max_abs_value:
          max_abs_value = abs(num)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What are better ways of solving this problem?</p>
