Returns the index of the element with the maximum value in a list.
|
|
|
|
- Use `max()` and `list.index()` to get the maximum value in the list and return its index.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def max_element_index(arr):
|
|
return arr.index(max(arr))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
max_element_index([5, 8, 9, 7, 10, 3, 0]) # 4
|
|
```
