也许你需要一个排序的列表?

试试这个:

your_list = [13, 352, 2553, 0.5, 89, 0.4]
sorted_list = sorted(your_list)
index_of_higher_value = your_list.index(sorted_list[-1])

下面是一个使用Python内置函数的完整解决方案:

# Create the List
numbers = input("Enter the elements of the list. Separate each value with a comma. Do not put a comma at the end.\n").split(",") 

# Convert the elements in the list (treated as strings) to integers
numberL = [int(element) for element in numbers] 

# Loop through the list with a for-loop

for elements in numberL:
    maxEle = max(numberL)
    indexMax = numberL.index(maxEle)

print(maxEle)
print(indexMax)

max([(v,i) for i,v in enumerate(my_list)])

有很多选择，例如:

import operator
index, value = max(enumerate(my_list), key=operator.itemgetter(1))

这个答案比@Escualo快33倍，假设列表非常大，并且它已经是一个np.array()。我不得不减少测试运行的次数，因为测试要查看10000000个元素，而不仅仅是100个。

import random
from datetime import datetime
import operator
import numpy as np

def explicit(l):
    max_val = max(l)
    max_idx = l.index(max_val)
    return max_idx, max_val

def implicit(l):
    max_idx, max_val = max(enumerate(l), key=operator.itemgetter(1))
    return max_idx, max_val

def npmax(l):
    max_idx = np.argmax(l)
    max_val = l[max_idx]
    return (max_idx, max_val)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from timeit import Timer

t = Timer("npmax(l)", "from __main__ import explicit, implicit, npmax; "
      "import random; import operator; import numpy as np;"
      "l = np.array([random.random() for _ in xrange(10000000)])")
print "Npmax: %.2f msec/pass" % (1000  * t.timeit(number=10)/10 )

t = Timer("explicit(l)", "from __main__ import explicit, implicit; "
      "import random; import operator;"
      "l = [random.random() for _ in xrange(10000000)]")
print "Explicit: %.2f msec/pass" % (1000  * t.timeit(number=10)/10 )

t = Timer("implicit(l)", "from __main__ import explicit, implicit; "
      "import random; import operator;"
      "l = [random.random() for _ in xrange(10000000)]")
print "Implicit: %.2f msec/pass" % (1000  * t.timeit(number=10)/10 )

我电脑上的结果:

Npmax: 8.78 msec/pass
Explicit: 290.01 msec/pass
Implicit: 790.27 msec/pass

我认为公认的答案很好，但你为什么不明确地说出来呢?我觉得更多的人会理解你的代码，这与PEP 8是一致的:

max_value = max(my_list)
max_index = my_list.index(max_value)

这种方法也比公认的答案快三倍:

import random
from datetime import datetime
import operator

def explicit(l):
    max_val = max(l)
    max_idx = l.index(max_val)
    return max_idx, max_val

def implicit(l):
    max_idx, max_val = max(enumerate(l), key=operator.itemgetter(1))
    return max_idx, max_val

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from timeit import Timer
    t = Timer("explicit(l)", "from __main__ import explicit, implicit; "
          "import random; import operator;"
          "l = [random.random() for _ in xrange(100)]")
    print "Explicit: %.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)

    t = Timer("implicit(l)", "from __main__ import explicit, implicit; "
          "import random; import operator;"
          "l = [random.random() for _ in xrange(100)]")
    print "Implicit: %.2f usec/pass" % (1000000 * t.timeit(number=100000)/100000)

在我的电脑中运行的结果:

Explicit: 8.07 usec/pass
Implicit: 22.86 usec/pass

其他设置:

Explicit: 6.80 usec/pass
Implicit: 19.01 usec/pass
