get index of max value python code example

Example 1: python find index of highest value in list

numbers = [5, 4, 7, 3, 9, 1, 2]
biggest_number = max(numbers)
print(numbers.index(biggest_number))

Example 2: 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 3: index to min python

import numpy as np
index_min = np.argmin(values)

Example 4: python how to return max num index

import numpy as np

x=[1,2,3,4,5]

max_index=np.argmax(x) 
# return the index of the maximun element
# max_index has the value 4

Example 5: 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)

Example 6: index of maximum value in list python

[i for i, x in enumerate(l) if x == max(l)]
