Python: Find all index positions of the maximum and minimum values in a given list
Python List: Exercise - 132 with Solution
Write a Python program to find all index positions of the maximum and minimum values in a given list of numbers.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def position_max_min(nums):
max_val = max(nums)
min_val = min(nums)
max_result = [i for i, j in enumerate(nums) if j == max_val]
min_result = [i for i, j in enumerate(nums) if j == min_val]
return max_result,min_result
nums = [12,33,23,10,67,89,45,667,23,12,11,10,54]
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
result = position_max_min(nums)
print("\nIndex positions of the maximum value of the said list:")
print(result[0])
print("\nIndex positions of the minimum value of the said list:")
print(result[1])
Sample Output:
Original list: [12, 33, 23, 10, 67, 89, 45, 667, 23, 12, 11, 10, 54] Index positions of the maximum value of the said list: [7] Index positions of the minimum value of the said list: [3, 11]

Python: Tips of the Day
Given a predicate function, fn, and a prop string, this curried function will then take an object to inspect by calling the property and passing it to the predicate:
Example:
def tips_check_prop(fn, prop): return lambda obj: fn(obj[prop]) check_age = tips_check_prop(lambda x: x >= 25, 'age') user = {'name': 'Owen', 'age': 25} print(check_age(user))
