python how to get the indices of an item in a list code example

Example 1: python find index of first matching element in a list

# Basic syntax:
list.index(element, start, end) 
# Where:
#	- Element is the item you're looking for in the list
# 	- Start is optional, and is the list index you want to start at
#	- End is option, and is the list index you want to stop searching at

# Note, Python is 0-indexed

# Example usage:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 42, 9, 10]
my_list.index(42)
--> 8
