Python Finding Index of Maximum in List

Question

def main():
    a = [2,1,5,234,3,44,7,6,4,5,9,11,12,14,13]
    max = 0
    for number in a:
        if number > max:
            max = number
    print max

if __name         


        

Answer 1

A simple one liner of:

max( (v, i) for i, v in enumerate(a) )[1]

This avoids having to .index() the list after.
