'int' object is not callable error in min function

I am trying to find the minimum value in this list. I started with a dictionary that looked like this:

temperature = {

    'June': [25,25,26,27,25,25,24,27,28,28,31,32,33],

    'July': [34,34,36,39,39,38,39,37,39,41,41,39,37],

    'August': [37,37,36,37,35,35,34,37,38,34,32,33,31],

}

and I went on to convert my values in a list using

val = (list(temperature.values()))

if I then use the min function to find the minimum value I get a <<'int' object is not callable>> message and this has also appeared in many other attempts. Could you explain what I am doing wrong?

This can help you out.

If you want the key and value that contain the min value, use this below

min(temperature.items(),key=lambda x :x[1])

which returns

('June', [25, 25, 26, 27, 25, 25, 24, 27, 28, 28, 31, 32, 33])

OR If you need the min value out of this list, use the code below

min(min(temperature.items(),key=lambda x :x[1])[1])

which returns:

24

To get only the key which can the minum value in the list, then use this below,

min(temperature.items(),key=lambda x :x[1])[0]

Output:

'June'
