find minumum value and index in matlab

To find the minimum value in a MATLAB array, you can use the min function. The min function returns two values: the minimum value in the array and the index of that value. Here is the syntax:

main.m
[min_value, ind] = min(array)
30 chars
2 lines

min_value is the minimum value in the array, and ind is the index of that value. For example:

main.m
A = [5, 1, 3, 2, 4];
[min_value, ind] = min(A)
47 chars
3 lines

This will output:

main.m
min_value = 1
ind = 2
22 chars
3 lines

So the minimum value in A is 1, and it is located at index 2.

You can also use indexing in MATLAB to access the element of the array with the minimum value directly. For example, to get the element of A with the minimum value:

main.m
A(ind)
7 chars
2 lines

This will output:

main.m
ans = 1
8 chars
2 lines

So the element of A with the minimum value is 1.
