1 A python function that returns the index of the smallest element in a list of integers.If the number of such elements is greater than 1, return the smallest index.¶

In [3]:
def indexOfSmallestElement(L):
    smallestIndex=0
    smallestElement= L[0]
    for i in range(1,len(L)):
        if L[i]<smallestElement:
            smallestElement=L[i]
            smallestIndex=i
    return smallestIndex

L= list(map(int,input("Enter list of numbers :").split()))
smallestIndex= indexOfSmallestElement(L)

print("smallest Index is:",smallestIndex)

Enter list of numbers :1 2 6 9 11 15 17
smallest Index is: 0

2 Python function that takes a list of names and returns the most common name in the list.¶

In [4]:
def mostCommonName(name_list):
    max_frequency =0
    commonName= name_list[0]
    
    for name in name_list:
        frequency=name_list.count(name)
        if frequency > max_frequency:
            max_frequency = frequency 
            commonName= name
            
    return name
print(mostCommonName(["jane", "Aaron", "Jane","Cindy","Aaron"]))


            
            

Aaron

3 Python function that takes a Palindromic list and returns True if it isthe same forwards as backwards and False otherwise.¶

In [12]:
def isPalindrome(str):
    for i in range(0,int(len(str)/2)):
        if str[i] !=str[len(str)-i-1]:
            return False
    return True

S = "malayalam"
ans= isPalindrome(S)

if (ans):
    print(" True, It is a palindrome.")
else:
    print(" False, It is not a palindrome.")

 True, It is a palindrome.
