i wrote this code to print the largest element in the first row of a matrix, but it print the index of the largest number?

how cam i print largest element??

matrix=input("Enter the Matrix");

max=0;

[r,c]=size(matrix);

d=c[j];

n=length(matrix);

for i=0:1

for j=0:c

if [j]> max

max=[j];

end

end

end

disp(max);

You can use:

a=max(matrix(1,:));
disp(a)

to disp the max value from the first row,

or

b=max(matrix(:,1));
disp(b)

to get the max value from the first column

you can use

[a,x]=max(matrix(1,:));

to get the value and the positions of the max element.

a=-Inf;
for i=1:numel(matrix(:,1))
    if matrix(i,1)>a;
        a=matrix(i,1);
    end
end
disp(a)
