How to select last location of min value which is avalable in more than one location of a matrix?

If I have a matrix, say A = [2 7 4; 8 4 2; 9 7 7], and if I want to find the min value ( which is 2 in this case) location, I can use [row,col]= find(A == min(min(A))) which gives two location. i.e., in this matrix we have "2" as the smallest value and it is available in two location. so we get [row,col] = (1,1) and (2,3). Now if I want to use the last location i.e., (2,3) instead of first location (1,1) for next operation. How to select last location? I tried using [row,col]= find(A == min(min(A)), 'last'), but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

[row,col]= find(A == min(min(A)),1, 'last')

row =
     2
col =
     3

thank you, but when I tried B = [2 7 4; 8 4 2; 9 2 7] where I added one more value=2 in the location (3,2) and used the method [row,col]= find(A == min(min(A)),1, 'last') I got answer as (2,3) instead of last location (3,2). May I know why am I getting that result?

[Matt Learner]

I typed the matrix name wrongly as "B". Actually it should be "A"

[Thomas]

for matlab (2,3) comes after (3,2)

So how should I select the last location? I mean, I want to select the highest row location no matter what the column location is. Kindly help me

[Thomas]

If you want it to give you the highest row as the last one, try

B = [2 7 4; 8 4 2; 9 2 7]

[row,col]= find(B == min(min(B)));

output_row=row(find(row==max(row)))

outuput_col=col(find(row==max(row)))

Thank you very much for providing solution to this issue.
