largest_even

Language/Type: Python functional programming lists collections

Write a function named largest_even that takes a list of integers as a parameter and returns the largest even number from a list of integers. An even integer is one that is divisible by 2. For example, if the list is [5, -1, 12, 10, 2, 8], your function should return 12. You may assume that the list contains at least one even integer.

Use Python's functional programming constructs, such as list comprehensions, map, filter, reduce, to implement your function. Do not use any loops or recursion in your solution.

Function: Write a Python function as described, not a complete program.
