find the maximum number in a list using a loop

Question

So I have this list and variables:

nums = [14, 8, 9, 16, 3, 11, 5]

big = nums[0]

spot = 0

I\'m confused on how to actually do it. Please

Answer 1

To print the Index of the largest number in a list.

numbers = [1,2,3,4,5,6,9]

N = 0
for num in range(len(numbers)) :
  if numbers[num] > N :
    N = numbers[num]
print(numbers.index(N))
