You can use Dictionary to store the maximum number and its count as item_no = {}, if you max is different then original in item_no, reinitialize it and add that item and add count =1

As answers show, it's more Pythonic to do it with list comprehensions, rather than loops. But if you use loops to iterate over the list, a style tip: don't use the same variable namei
both for indicesi in range(5)
then also for items/values:for i in item_no
. Better to dofor no in item_no

Just get the maximum using max
and then its count
and combine the two in a list-comprehension.
item_no = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
max_no = max(item_no)
highest = [max_no for _ in range(item_no.count(max_no))]
print(highest) # -> [8, 8]
Note that this will return a list of a single item in case your maximum value appears only once.
A solution closer to your current programming style would be the following:
item_no = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
max_no = 0
for i in item_no:
if i > max_no:
max_no = i
high = [i]
elif i == max_no:
high.append(i)
with the same results as above of course.
Note that this last one is less efficient than the first by quite a margin. Python allows you to be more efficient than these explicit, fortran-like loops and it is more efficient itself when you use it properly.
Actually, I would love to use the first code, but since this part of my school project, I am not allowed to use inbuilt functions, therefore I need to use the second code.

You could use list
comprehension for that task following way:
numbers = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
maxnumbers = [i for i in numbers if i==max(numbers)]
print(*maxnumbers,sep=',')
output:
8,8
*
operator in print
is used to unpack values, sep
is used to inform print
what seperator to use: ,
in this case.
EDIT: If you want to get indices of biggest value and call max
only once then do:
numbers = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
biggest = max(numbers)
positions = [inx for inx,i in enumerate(numbers) if i==biggest]
print(*positions,sep=',')
Output:
3,4
As you might check numbers[3]
is equal to biggest
and numbers[4]
is equal to biggest
.

note that your solution callsmax
a total oflen(numbers)
times. Storing it outside the list and then using that would be better.

This issue can be solved in one line, by finding an item which is equal to the maximum value:
[i for i in item_no if i==max(item_no)]
How do you find the index of the result in item_no?

By using enumerate function, we can get index position: [i for i, val in enumerate(item_no) if val in result]

Count the occurrence of max number
iterate over the list to print the max number for the range of the count (1)
Hence:
item_no = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
counter = item_no.count(max(item_no)) # 2
print([max(item_no) for x in range(counter)])
OUTPUT:
[8, 8]

#compute once - use many
max_item = max(item_no)

You could use list
comprehension for that task following way:
numbers = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
maxnumbers = [i for i in numbers if i==max(numbers)]
print(*maxnumbers,sep=',')
output:
8,8
*
operator in print
is used to unpack values, sep
is used to inform print
what seperator to use: ,
in this case.
EDIT: If you want to get indices of biggest value and call max
only once then do:
numbers = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
biggest = max(numbers)
positions = [inx for inx,i in enumerate(numbers) if i==biggest]
print(*positions,sep=',')
Output:
3,4
As you might check numbers[3]
is equal to biggest
and numbers[4]
is equal to biggest
.

This issue can be solved in one line, by finding an item which is equal to the maximum value:
[i for i in item_no if i==max(item_no)]

By using enumerate function, we can get index position: [i for i, val in enumerate(item_no) if val in result]

Count the occurrence of max number
iterate over the list to print the max number for the range of the count (1)
Hence:
item_no = [5, 6, 7, 8, 8]
counter = item_no.count(max(item_no)) # 2
print([max(item_no) for x in range(counter)])
OUTPUT:
[8, 8]

You can use Dictionary to store the maximum number and its count as item_no = {}, if you max is different then original in item_no, reinitialize it and add that item and add count =1

As answers show, it's more Pythonic to do it with list comprehensions, rather than loops. But if you use loops to iterate over the list, a style tip: don't use the same variable name
i
both for indicesi in range(5)
then also for items/values:for i in item_no
. Better to dofor no in item_no
