If I have a matrix A, and I want to find the minimum value, I would think that the min function would be appropriate, but it is not:
A = [-2 1];
min(A)
Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
However, using the max function (as follows) works perfectly fine:
-max(-A)
ans = -2
Even if your array has only positive values this works fine as well as in the following example:
A = [2 1]; -max(-A)
ans = 1
Can someone please exp[lain to me why the min function does not do this? Thanks!
