There is always a chance to have multiple elements with same xpath. Example: table/tbody/tr

In a table, we have multiple rows with same xpath. To extract each row into a list we need to identify them by iterating over the tr tags with there index.

Example:

//table/tbody/tr[1]

//table/tbody/tr[2]

.

.

//table/tbody/tr[n]

 

Similarly for 'Buy Now' there can be mutliple elements with same xpath but based on there indexes selenium can identify the precise button among them.
