The index of the maximum of a sequence

Explanation of the Code

1. Initialize Variables:
   largest = float('-inf')


   index_of_largest = -1


   index = 0

   • Initialize largest to negative infinity (float('-inf')) to ensure any input number will be larger.
   • Initialize index_of_largest to -1 to keep track of the index of the largest element.
   • Initialize index to 0 to keep track of the current index in the sequence.
2. Reading Input and Finding the Largest Number:
   while True:


       num = int(input())


       if num == 0:


           break


       if num > largest:


           largest = num


           index_of_largest = index


       index += 1

   • Use a while True loop to continuously read input.
   • Convert the input to an integer using int().
   • If the integer is 0, break the loop.
   • If the integer is greater than largest, update largest to this integer and update index_of_largest to the current index.
   • Increment index by 1.
3. Printing the Index of the Largest Number:
   print(index_of_largest)

   • Print the value of index_of_largest after exiting the loop.
