def findIt(ar, x):
for i in range (len(ar)):
if (x != int(ar[i])):
return i
return -1
v = [24, 20, 29, 32, 34, 29, 49, 46, 39, 23, 42, 24, 38]
a = int(input("search for: "))
print (findIt(v, a))
For every number except 24, the output is 0. For 24 (which should have an output of 0) the output is 1. Which variable should be included in a debugging statement before the return to find the problem?

To debug the issue with the findIt function, you should include the variable ar[i] in a debugging statement before the return statement to understand what value is being compared and why the function is returning that particular index.
By adding a debug print statement for ar[i], you can see the elements of the array being checked against x, which will help you identify why the output is 1 for the number 24 instead of the expected 0.
So the correct answer is:
ar[i]
