Min / max from nested list

list_a = [[0, 3], [2, 4], [25, 17]]

I want to iterate over list_a and find out the min and the max of all elements on index [1] for every single element of list_a.

My first shot was

min_list = min(list_a[0:][1])
max_list = max(list_a[0:][1])

but that was wrong. What is the correct way?

You can use list comprehension:

min_list = min([e[1] for e in list_a])
max_list = max([e[1] for e in list_a])

You can actually generalize this for any i-th element you like:

i = 1
min_list = min([e[i] for e in list_a])
