Finds the index of the first element in the given list that satisfies the provided testing function.
|
|
|
|
- Use a list comprehension, `enumerate()` and `next()` to return the index of the first element in `lst` for which `fn` returns `True`.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def find_index(lst, fn):
|
|
return next(i for i, x in enumerate(lst) if fn(x))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
find_index([1, 2, 3, 4], lambda n: n % 2 == 1) # 0
|
|
```
