I'd like to propose adding argmax and argmin functions to the python list. These functions return the index of a maximum / minimum element of the list. Eg:
a = [1, 4, 2, 3] print(a.argmax()) # 1 print(a.argmin()) # 0
It's a very popular request (based on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16945518/finding-the-index-of-the-value-... <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16945518/finding-the-index-of-the-value-...> ), and currently there is no elegant way to find it.
What do you think?
Just do this:
a=[1,4,2,3] min(a) 1 a.index(min(a)) 0 a.index(max(a)) 1
