min and max functions in matlab

Matlab has built-in functions for finding the minimum and maximum values of an array or a list of values.

min function

The min function finds the minimum value of an array or vector. Syntax:

main.m
min(A)
7 chars
2 lines

where A is the array or vector.

Example:

main.m
A = [5, 3, 8, 1, 9];
min(A)
28 chars
3 lines

Output: 1

max function

The max function finds the maximum value of an array or vector. Syntax:

main.m
max(A)
7 chars
2 lines

where A is the array or vector.

Example:

main.m
A = [5, 3, 8, 1, 9];
max(A)
28 chars
3 lines

Output: 9

These functions can also be used with multiple input arguments to find the minimum or maximum value in comparison to the values of the rest of the inputs.
