You just need a simple observation in this problem,
the Chef-sum = prefixSum(i) + SuffixSum(i) is same as Sum of whole array + a[i];
That the required sum will be minimum when the current element a[i] is minimum…
So we just need to find the leftmost index of minimum element in array…
min = 1000000 // any large value
index = -1
for i in range (0, k)
x = input()
if(x < min)
min = x
index = i
print(i)
PS:i don’t know Python, so rectify minor errors of input…
