Is there a more effective way of finding the min/max/sum of a list without having to create another variable to find the sum

Question

For example I couldn't figure out how to find the minimum value in the list called "cars" by simply printing out print min(cars) however making variable called X worked

cars = range (1,101)
x = sum(cars)
print( x)

Ran the same code on my machine, output was 5050 (correct sum). Further more, simply running `print(sum(range(1, 101)))` works just fine. — Ofek Glick, Aug 23 '21 at 20:34

In python you can use the built-in functions max,min or sum to print the value of each method. There is not need to assign it to a variable. For instance, doing print(max([1,2,3,4])) will print 4
