Write a Python program to find the Index position of a specified element and print it. And if the specified element is not present then print -1 as

Sure, here is a simple Python program that finds the index position of a specified element in a list. If the element is not present, it prints -1.

def find_index(lst, element):
    try:
        index = lst.index(element)
    except ValueError:
        index = -1
    return index

# Test the function
lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
element = 3
print(find_index(lst, element))  # Output: 2

element = 6
print(find_index(lst, element))  # Output: -1

In this program, we define a function find_index that takes a list and an element as arguments. It tries to find the index of the element in the list using the index method. If the element is not in the list, the index method raises a ValueError exception, which we catch and assign -1 to the index. Finally, the function returns the index.

We then test the function with a list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and elements 3 and 6. The element 3 is in the list at index 2, so the function prints 2. The element 6 is not in the list, so the function prints -1.
