Agreed! Merry Christmas to everyone!
Here is my gift to you all: write a function that acts like max, but
instead of returning the item in the list, return the index of the
item....
Puzzles!
def maxindex(seq):
return max(zip(seq, itertools.count()))[1]
wasn't that fun?
If you want more, write a min function in the same way, but be sure
you don't duplicate any code. :)
Hmm... well, going for complex rather than terse...
def minindex(seq, index=0):
if len(seq) == index+1:
return index
rest = minindex(seq, index+1)
return rest if seq[rest] < seq[index] else index
