How to know the position(index number) of a value in a list?

Listx = [5,8,3,4,3,6] Lets say i want the index position of the value 3. Positions start with 0 then 1.

yes only the first if you want to find all matches you can use a for loop that gives you the index in a list print([ a for a in range(len(Listx)) if Listx[a]==3 ])

print(Listx.index(3)) The index() method returns an integer that represents the index of first match of specified element in the List.

The len method gets the number of elements in list() so that the for loop returns from 0 to the number of elements in the list. and the for the one that I put is more compact than b=[] for i in range(len(Listx)): if (Listx[i]==3): b.append(i) print(b)
