title: Index value returning a character
body: <p>I have created a program to count the number of each letter with a list of names. The number is then stored in a separate list. I am not trying to print the letter that has the max times used within the original list.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried using the .index(max) function,  but that returns the place value. In this case[4]. The  letter would be 'E', but i cannot figure out how to get to that.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    names = ["Euclid", "Archimedes", "Newton", "Descartes", "Fermat",
       "Turing", "Euler", "Einstein", "Boole", "Fibonacci",
       "Nash", "Wiles", "Cantor", "Gauss", "Plato"]
  
  alphaCount = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  
  print(' ord values for characters ')
  print('1 ',ord('A')-ord('A'))   # 0
  print('2 ',ord('B')-ord('A'))   # 1
  print('3 ',ord('C')-ord('A'))   # 2
  # .....
  print('26 ',ord('Z')-ord('A'))
  
  for name in names:
      for ch in name:
          x = ord(ch.upper()) - ord('A')  
          alphaCount[x] = alphaCount[x] + 1  
  print('alphaCount == ', alphaCount)  
  
  max = max(alphaCount)
  most_common = alphaCount.index(max)
  print("The most common letter is index value:", most_common)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What i have returned is the index value, but I need the letter that it relates to.</p>
