[turbofib]

hi,
i want to find lowest number position
a=[5 18 4 nan]
sort(a)

4 5 18 nan

if i write :

find(a==4) is not correct...i get ans = 0



how can i position lowest number? thank you

this works for me :-)
a=[5 18 4 nan]
b=sort(a)
b(1)
c=find(a==b(1))

Hi,

The following works perfectly:

find (min (a))

and

find (a==4)

returns 3, as expected.

find (min (a))

'find(min(a))' returns 1 since min(a) is a number, I think you meant '
find(a==min(a))', which returns 3.
You can also run '[m,im] = min(a)', which returns m = 4 (minimum), im = 3
(position of minimum).

[~,p]=min(a); %p is the position of lowest number in a.
