Returns the maximum value of a list, after mapping each element to a value using the provided function.
- Use `map()` with `fn` to map each element to a value using the provided function.
- Use `max()` to return the maximum value.
```py
def max_by(lst, fn):
return max(map(fn, lst))
```
```py
max_by([{ 'n': 4 }, { 'n': 2 }, { 'n': 8 }, { 'n': 6 }], lambda v : v['n']) # 8
```
