In Python, we can use the index() method to get the index of a particular element in an array. The syntax is:
.index()
Here,
is the name of the array, and is the element whose index we want to find.
Let's take an example of a list called my_list containing some elements:
my_list = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
To get the index of an element in this list, we can call the index() method as follows:
index = my_list.index(30)
print(index)
This will output:
2
Here, the value 2 represents the index of the element 30 in the list.
However, if the element is not present in the list, then calling the index() method will result in a ValueError. For example:
index = my_list.index(60)
This will result in the following error:
ValueError: 60 is not in list
