MATLAB: Find the maximum value and its location from a matrix using two nested loops

Hi,
Right now I have this matrix K
K =
      -3    -8     6    -3    -8     6     9    24   -18
      -5    10    -9    -5    10    -9    15   -30    27
       8     4     9     8     4     9   -24   -12   -27
      -9   -24    18    12    32   -24     3     8    -6
     -15    30   -27    20   -40    36     5   -10     9
      24    12    27   -32   -16   -36    -8    -4    -9
       9    24   -18   -15   -40    30     0     0     0
      15   -30    27   -25    50   -45     0     0     0
     -24   -12   -27    40    20    45     0     0     0
I wonder how I can use two nested loops to find the maximum number and its location from this matrix.
It would be great if anyone can help me with this
Thank you very much 🙂

Best Answer

you can do it as follow:
 MaxValue = -Inf;
 row = 0;
 column = 0;
 for i = 1:size(K, 1)
     for j = 1:size(K, 2)
         if K(i, j) > MaxValue
             MaxValue = K(i, j);
             row = i;
             column = j;
         end
     end
 end
