Python - How to return the indice value of a list? -

currently have

 element in initialstring:     if element == word:       print(element.index(initialstring)) 

where initialstring list , word called variable.

however, returning typeerror telling me cannot convert 'list' object str implicity.

you'd use initialstring.index(element) (so reversed) instead; list can tell index has element stored in; element has no knowledge of list.

you should use enumerate() here however, add indices loop:

 i, element in enumerate(initialstring):      if element == word:          print(i) 

if wanted know index of word, however, simpler still use:

print(initialstring.index(word))
