python get max value in list and index 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 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 4: index of maximum value in list python

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

Example 5: python list max value

#!/usr/bin/python

list1, list2 = [123, 'xyz', 'zara', 'abc'], [456, 700, 200]
print "Max value element : ", max(list1)
print "Max value element : ", max(list2)
