# 11.13 (Locate the largest element) Write the following function that returns the location
# of the largest element in a two-dimensional list:
# def locateLargest(a):
# The return value is a one-dimensional list that contains two elements. These
# two elements indicate the row and column indexes of the largest element in the
# two-dimensional list. Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a two dimensional
# list and displays the location of the largest element in the list.
def locateLargest(a):
max_indx_row = 0
max_indx_col = 0
for i in range(len(a)):
for j in range(len(a[i])):
if a[i][j] > a[max_indx_row][max_indx_col]:
max_indx_row = i
max_indx_col = j
return max_indx_row, max_indx_col
rows = int(input("Enter the number of rows in the list: "))
matrix = []
for i in range(rows):
r = input("Enter a row: ").split()
r = [float(x) for x in r]
matrix.append(r)
row, col = locateLargest(matrix)
print("The location of the largest element is at (" + str(row) + "," + str(col) + ")")
