how to find maximum alement

There is a matrix (nXm )

we should write a code that gives the maximum element in the matrix.

it is eligible to use : sort, max, min , for, if ,while or any loops .

I have started the solution but did not know how to continue

any help...

a=size(M);
b=M(1:end);
c=repmat(a,length(a),1);
d=repmat(a',1,length(a));
e=(c-d);
f=M(e>=0);
h=(sum(f));

max(matrix(:))

I cannot use max , the instructions are not to use max

Did you see the below answer in the link ??

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/437149-how-can-i-find-the-smallest-element-in-an-array-without-using-the-function-min#answer_353842 - change > to < and Min to Max .

[aya qassim]

yeh, I saw but simply It is eligible to use loops in the code.

"eligible" means you CAN do it. Did you mean "ineligible"

The only times we hear people say they cannot use certain functions is if it's their homework. Is this your homework? If it is, then we ethically should not just give you the complete answer. Because usually the professor's assignment is not something like "Have someone else solve this question and turn it in as your own." I think you need to read this link so we can help you in a way you'll feel safe turning in the code.

To find the min or max you either must use loops or use a function. I don't know of any other way off the top of my head.

Me neither..

it is a homework but I do not have any idea how to start the solution, I have tried some ways but they did not work.

I have started the solution in this way, can you help me to continue..

M= is the matrix that we put.

a=size(M);
b=M(1:end);
c=repmat(a,length(a),1);
d=repmat(a',1,length(a));
e=(c-d);
f=(e>=0);
h=sum(f);
