python find index of first matching element in a list
# Basic syntax: list.index(element, start, end) # Where: # - Element is the item you're looking for in the list # - Start is optional, and is the list index you want to start at # - End is option, and is the list index you want to stop searching at # Note, Python is 0-indexed # Example usage: my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 42, 9, 10] my_list.index(42) --> 8
