Problems with 0.3.1

[JG-Burnie]

Hi, I have tried to get the minimum value and the index for the list, but the output only show the minimum value and what i guess is an error code for the index. I have tried to find a solution on google, but i can't get the right output. Can you help ?

Hi

Your function returns two things:

1. lst_l, which is an enumerate object [created by enumerate(lst)], and
2. lst_min, which is the minimum of the list [created by min(lst)].

Both of these are defined before your for loop, which currently loops through the list, but does nothing but return the previously defined variables. As such, you find the correct minimum value (-882), but you do not find the minimum index.

Perhaps there exists a method which can be called on a list which gets you the index of a given value, which you can then use with your found minimum value, completely removing the for loop. Here is a list of list methods, which I found by googling 'list methods python'.

If you cannot find this method, another way of approaching the task without using min() and other inbuilt functions or methods would be to loop through all the numbers and assessing whether the current number is smaller than all previously seen numbers, and saving the value and it's index if it is.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, i found a list method that solved the problem. :)
