Finding stock with maximum price
Another useful list method is .index(), which returns the index of the element specified. For example, to get the index of 2 in x, you would use:
x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
x.index(2)
1
You can then use this result to subset another list, as you will do in this exercise.
The lists prices and names are available in your workspace.
