MATLAB: Minimum and maximum values of a field in a structure array

Question

Hi. I have a strcuture array with 10 fields. How can, I find the minumum and maximum values of a particular field f1? I tried uisng min and max commands but, they are giving wrong results.

For example,

The name of the structure array is "Test" (1 x 5000) and the field name is "growth". I want the minimum and maximum of the whole field growth.

Test(1).growth=[1 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 8 9];

Test(2).growth=[10 20 40 67];

….. so on.

I want the maximum and the minimum of the field "growth".
