return a maximum value of a table in matlab

You can use the max function in MATLAB to return the maximum value in a table. If your table is a matrix, you can use the function on the whole matrix as follows:

main.m
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
max_val = max(A(:));
48 chars
3 lines

In this example, the (:) operator converts the matrix A into a column vector, which then is searched for the maximum value. Finally, the maximum value is stored in the max_val variable.

If your table is not a matrix, you can use the max function with appropriate arguments to search along specific dimensions of the table. The documentation for the max function has more information on this syntax.
