MATLAB: Find a range of minimum values in a vector/array

arrayfindmaxmaximumminimumrangevalue

Hello everyone! Briefly, I would like to ask if, in MATLAB, exists a function or something else to find a min or max range of values in an array. I mean, if I have [7 2 1 4 34 9 8 5]

And I want to find the a "range" of three numbers, which is the minimumin the array, MATLAB will give me as result

[2 1 4]

And so on.

Thanks in advice, A.M.

I see two ways:

out = sort(yourarray);
out = out(1:3);

[ii,ii] = min(conv(yourarray,[1 1 1],'same'));
out = yourarray(ii-1:ii+1);

MATLAB: To find position of min value

A - your array;

[v1,ii] = min(A);
[v2,jj] = min(v1);
out = [v2,ii(jj),jj];

[v3,ij] = min(A(:));
[i1,j1] = ind2sub(size(A),ij);
out = [v3,i1,j1];

MATLAB: Extracting an element in a vector

[~,ii] = max(A);
[~,ii(2)] = min(A);
out = A(setdiff(1:numel(A),ii));

other way

[~,ii] = sort(A);
out = A(sort(ii(2:end-1)));

more way

out = A(A ~= max(A) & A ~= min(A));
