find the maximum number in a list using a loop

Question

So I have this list and variables:

nums = [14, 8, 9, 16, 3, 11, 5]

big = nums[0]

spot = 0

I\'m confused on how to actually do it. Please

Answer 1

nums = [14, 8, 9, 16, 3, 11, 5]

big = None

spot = None

for i, v in enumerate(nums):
    if big is None or v > big:
         big = v
         spot = i
