# Take array
n = int(input("Enter array size: "))
arr = []
for i in range(n):
    arr.append(int(input(f"Element {i+1}: ")))

# Find index of min
min_index = 0
min_value = arr[0]

for i in range(1, len(arr)):
    if arr[i] < min_value:
        min_value = arr[i]
        min_index = i

print(f"Index of minimum: {min_index}")

Output

Enter array size: 5
Element 1: 10
Element 2: 5
Element 3: 20
Element 4: 3
Element 5: 15
Index of minimum: 3

Track both value and index.

Key Concepts:

Initialize with first element
Track index when updating min
Print index of minimum

Index of Maximum Element
