Search an array for a string to get its index in python

Question

I want to search an array for a string and get its index number.

li = ["New Year's Day", 'Lohri', 'Pongal', 'Makar Sankranti', 'Guru Govind Singh Jayanti', 'Republic Day', 'Chinese New Year', "Valentine's Day", 'Vasant Panchami', 'Shivaji Jayanti']

So what should I write to make it return the index number
like I call a faction check = checkindex('Pongal') and this should return 2. How do I write this function.

you mean list. In which case, just li.index(word)

You don't need a separate function for that

li.index('Pongal')
