Largest List Item using recursion function:

# Create a function name,findLargest  that accepts a list as an argument, 
#and returns the largest value in the list. 
def findLargest(list):
    if len(list) == 1:
        return list[0]
    else:
        # Recursive call with the sublist starting from index 1
        sub_max = findLargest(list[1:])
        
        # Compare the first element with the maximum of the sublist
        if list[0] > sub_max:
            return list[0]
        else:
            return sub_max

# Initialize the list of values and
# call the function, findLargest
listValues = [70, 12, 90, 55, 11, 88,1000]
largest = findLargest(listValues)
print("Initialized input values: ", listValues)
print("The largest value in above list is:", largest)

Executed Output:

Initialized input values:  [70, 12, 90, 55, 11, 88, 1000]

The largest value in above list is: 1000
