Maximum Or Minimum for N Dimension Array

These functions return the subscripts of the maximum or minimum in an Array

Description

%maxNsarvas N-D Array Maximum With Subscript Output
%
% X = MAXN(A) returns the maximum value found as the first element followed
% by the subscripts of A. No knowledge about the size of A is needed prior
% to use.
%
% X = [maximum(A) sub1 sub2 sub3 . . . subN];
%
% If the maximum appears more than once (M times), each row contains
% the maximum followed by a set of subscripts that correspond to it.
%
% X = [maximum(A) sub1_1 sub2_1 sub3_1 . . . subN_1]
% [maximum(A) sub1_2 sub2_2 sub3_2 . . . subN_2]
% :
% [maximum(A) sub1_M sub2_M sub3_M . . . subN_M]
%
% This code uses D.C. Hanselman's MAXN routine.

%minNsarvas N-D Array Minimum With Subscript Output
%
% X = MINN(A) returns the minimum value found as the first element followed
% by the subscripts of A. No knowledge about the size of A is needed prior
% to use.
%
% X = [minimum(A) sub1 sub2 sub3 . . . subN];
%
% If the minimum appears more than once (M times), each row contains
% the minimum followed by a set of subscripts that correspond to it.
%
% X = [minimum(A) sub1_1 sub2_1 sub3_1 . . . subN_1]
% [minimum(A) sub1_2 sub2_2 sub3_2 . . . subN_2]
% :
% [minimum(A) sub1_M sub2_M sub3_M . . . subN_M]

Poorly coded, with an unnecessary loop and even an ugly eval. Better use ind2sub and an intermediate cell array:
 
% some data
  A = ceil(10*rand(3,2,4,3,5,2)) ;
  A(2,1,3,2,4,2) = 99 ;
  A(3,2,2,1,3,1) = 99 ;
% the engine
  mxA = max(A(:)) ;
  idx0 = find(A == mxA) ;
  clear idx % not necessary inside a function
  [idx{1:ndims(A)}] = ind2sub(size(A),idx0) ;
  idx = cat(2,idx{:})

I intended to give this a 2-star rating

(About the code written by Jos x@y.z)
The code does work. It IS more elegantly written. Why not post it as a function?
