Finding the max of column 2 and column 3

I have a matrix like

1  3 4  
1  2 6
1  1 5
1  4 3

What I would like to do is to, for each row, take a max of column 2 and column 3. That is, the output will be like

1  3 4  4
1  2 6  6
1  1 5  5
1  4 3  4

I would like to know whether it is possible to do this calculation without writing a loop.

 [matrix, max(of second and third column of the matrix along rows)]

Did you take up the MATLAB On-ramp course? You seem to be asking the basic questions over and over again?

I know how to write a loop. I jjust wanted to understand whether there is a better way than loop. Having said that I will work on it.

Answer 2

A(:,4)=max(A(:,2:3),[],2);

Let me work on it.
