I'm not sure what to put in the blank

on question 2 the question says: "The value of the highest_grade variable will be ____ when the following code is executed" with this code below it:

grades = [64, 92, 78, 97, 83, 89, 94]

highest_grade = max(grades)

(I'm sorry I don't know how to print out the code like how it is in the question) I've tried putting '94', 'max', 'biggest' but it said incorrect to all of them. If you know the answer please tell me, because I have no clue what it is.

I think you have the right idea, that the max function will return the biggest value of the set. But take a look at the list again, because the biggest value in that array isn't 94 — it's 97.
