Hi All,

Please could someone help with the error I am getting with my code

Description
The index of the first occurrence of the key in the provided list, if it is present, and -1 otherwise.

Output:
Input
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
10
Solution output
-1
Expected output
-1

Test Case Passed.

Input
[1, 2, 4, 2, 3,  2, 3, 3, 6, 7]
3
Solution output
-1
Expected output
4

Test Case Failed

Sorry posted wrong code and error!!!!also just to let me know what changes to be done in the linked code to get the desired output.

#input have been taken for you here
import ast
input_str = input()
qlist = ast.literal_eval(input_str)
value=input()
dtlv= qlist.index(value) if (value in qlist) else -1
print(dtlv)
    

I'm really new to python can anyone help me to correct the code

line 7:
print(qlist[dtlv])

@Larz60+, that makes the code display 7, not 4

your right!

# Reading the input

        else:
