I think that your conclusion is a bit too wide. Daniel Lemire says: April 3, 2019 at 7:35 pm They all have linear complexity. bbq says: April 19, 2012 at 9:09 am Interesting! The first solution is amazing! staniec says: November 28, 2016 at 4:17 pm What about: max(range(len(array)), key=lambda x: array[x]) GS says: April 3, 2019 at 1:46 pm Slower than a.index(max(a)).

Interesting!

What about:
max(range(len(array)), key=lambda x: array[x])
Slower than
a.index(max(a)). (Tested by ipython%timeit)
