MATLAB: How to find second largest value in an array

Question

Hi

I want to find the second largest and minimum value in array? A=[1;10;15;30;40;50;100].I want to get the result as Second minimum value=10 and second largest value=50 Help me plz…

Answer 1

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

for your example (A) just:

out = A([2,end-1]);

more variant

A1 = unique(A);
out = A1([2,end-1]);
