function in python to find the location of min value in array 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: index to min python

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

Example 3: python min value index from an array

if isMinLevel:
    return values.index(min(values))
else:
    return values.index(max(values))
