How to find maximum value in whole 2D array with indices [duplicate]

Answer 1

Refer to this answer, which also elaborates how to find the max value and its (1D) index, you can use argmax()

>>> a = array([[10,50,30],[60,20,40]])
>>> maxindex = a.argmax()
>>> maxindex
3

You can then use unravel_index(a.argmax(), a.shape) to get the indices as a tuple:

>>> from numpy import unravel_index
>>> unravel_index(a.argmax(), a.shape)
(1, 0)
