python get index of max of list code example

Example 1: python index of max value in list

# any list
a = [1, 7, 3, 12, 5]

# index of minimum element
# if more than 1 minimum, 
# first index is returned
min_index = a.index(min(a))

# index of maximum element
max_index = a.index(max(a))

Example 2: max of list with index

a.index(max(a))

Example 3: index of max value of sequence python

a.index(max(a))
a.index(min(a))

mean.max()    
max_index = (np.argmax(mean, axis = 0) + 1)
