how to get higest values in multidimencional array python

Question

i have a multi dimensional array in python like this:

array[x,y]=value

both x and y can start from 0 and end in 300

array[0,0]=100
array[1,0]=98
array[2,0]=120
array[3,0]=140
array[4,0]=124
# array[x,y]=value
array[300,299]=200
array[300,300]=170

how can i get the x,y of higest value of it?

i tryed to do a max() but i can only get the value , not x and y

Does this answer your question? [Finding the Max value in a two dimensional Array](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40701961/finding-the-max-value-in-a-two-dimensional-array) — TheZadok42, Apr 07 '20 at 16:31
sorry i dont know. i only know if a do `print(array[4,0])` it returns 124 — Jasar Orion, Apr 07 '20 at 16:43
@kederrac A list of lists wouldn't accept two comma-separated indices for item access. — Michael Butscher, Apr 07 '20 at 16:45
@MichaelButscher I know, but I want to understand the OP data types, the OP may just want to point something — kederrac, Apr 07 '20 at 16:47
@JasarOrion Python's built-in list and array types don't accept two comma-separated indices. — Michael Butscher, Apr 07 '20 at 16:48
_i have a multi dimensional array in python like this_ Please clarify what exactly the object is. — AMC, Apr 07 '20 at 20:09
If that is not a numpy array, it could be a dictionary where the key is a tuple. We need to know what the type of your array variable is. Try `type(array)` to find out and post it. — Alain T., Apr 07 '20 at 20:22

you may use:

from numpy import unravel_index

a = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [3, 13, 2, 3, 4]])

unravel_index(a.argmax(), a.shape)

output:

(1, 1)

this is just an example for a 2d array but this works well also with a multi dimensional array
