MATLAB: How can I get the min and corresponding max in matrix

matrix manipulation

I want to find the max in a matrix r*2 where r=1 up to 10 depends on the input from the user. and then return the min corresponding element in that row to the max.
Ex.
 x=[5 2;4 1;1 3];
x_max1=max(x(:,1)); x_min1=min(x(:,1));
x_max2=max(x(:,2)); x_min2=min(x(:,2)); % for second column
x_max=max(x_max1,x_max2); x_min=min(x_min1,x_min2);
this code will return, max as 5 and min as 1 while I want the code to return the max which is 5 and the corresponding element in that row which is 2'? Also, if there is another way to simplify the code will be also helpful

Best Answer

Try this:
x=[5 2;
   4 1;
   1 3];
% Get max in either column
maxValue = max(x(:))
% Find out what row and column it apepars at.
[row, column] = find(x == maxValue)
% Get the min value at that row.
minValue = min(x(row, :))
