Finding the max value in a dictionary finds either the key associated with the maximum value or the value itself. For example, in {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}, the key of the largest value is "c" and the largest value is 3.
USE max() AND dict.get TO FIND THE KEY WITH THE MAX VALUE IN A DICTIONARY
Call max(iterable, key=dict.get) with the same dictionary as both iterable and dict to find the key paired with the max value.
