Because of that, it is considered to be one of the most versatile data structures. We can store items such as string, integer, float, set, list, etc., inside a given list. A list in python is a mutable data type, which means that even after creating a list its elements can be changed. A list is represented by storing its items inside square brackets &#8216;[ ]&#8217;. We can access list elements using indexing.\u00a0In this article, we shall be looking into how in a python list, we can find the max index. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #990303;color:#990303\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #990303;color:#990303\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pythonpool.com\/python-list-max-index\/#1_Finding_max_index_using_for_loop\" >1.

We initially take the first element of the list as the maximum element and store the element into <em>&#8216;max&#8217;.<\/em> Then we take a variable as <em>&#8216;index&#8217;<\/em> and store it with the value 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, we shall iterate a loop from index  1 to the last element of the list. Inside the loop using an if statement, we shall compare the<em> ith <\/em>element, i.e., the current element of <em>&#8216;my_list&#8217;<\/em> with the<em> &#8216;max&#8217; <\/em>variable. If the value of the current element happens to be greater than the value of<em> &#8216;max&#8217;,<\/em> then we shall assign the value of the current element to<em> &#8216;max&#8217; <\/em>and the current index to<em> &#8216;i&#8217;.<\/em> After completion of the for loop, we shall print the value of<em> &#8216;index&#8217;<\/em>, which will denote the index of the maximum value from the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The output is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Max index is : 4\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>An above method is a naive approach. It is for understanding how the maximum element will be found. There are more compact methods, and now we shall be looking into some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-using-built-in-methods-max-and-index\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Using_built_in_methods_%E2%80%93_max_and_index\"><\/span>2.

It accepts the element as an argument and returns the index of that element. In the case of multiple occurrences, it will return the smallest index of that element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we shall use the <em>max() <\/em>function to find the maximum element from the given list<em> &#8216;my_list&#8217; <\/em>and store it in<em> &#8216;max_item&#8217;.<\/em> Then using the <em>index()<\/em> function, we shall pass the<em> &#8216;max_item&#8217; <\/em>inside the function.
