How can I find the maximum number and minimum number in a matrix?

I have this matrix

   A=
   300   300   300   300   300   300
   262   262   262   262   262   262
   238   218   218   218   218   218
   210   192   260   260   260   192
   239   221   288   251   251   220
   241   223   290   253   245   222

I would like to find the maximum number and minimum number?

Hi, max(A) returns maximum element in case A is a vector. If A is a matrix then it returns a row vector of the maximum value of each column.

Here, you can do max(max(A)) to get the maximum element.Similarly min(min(A)) to get minimum element.

Where M is your matrix:

max(M(:))
min(M(:))
