Returns the index of the element with the minimum value in a list.
|
|
|
|
- Use `min()` and `list.index()` to obtain the minimum value in the list and then return its index.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def min_element_index(arr):
|
|
return arr.index(min(arr))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
min_element_index([3, 5, 2, 6, 10, 7, 9]) # 2
|
|
```
