Find position of numbers in array

Hi,

so i have an array W = [11, 56, 22, 45, 29]

then i use Z = mink(W,2) to find the 2 lowest numbers in W

how do i output the position of the numbers found in Z from the array W?

I tried find(Z) but i got the positions of the numbers in array Z, not their position in array W

For this exemple i used small numbers but the actual W has more then 200 numbers so typing a code for each would take forever

You can specify a second output argument to get the linear index of the elements represented by Z:

W = [11, 56, 22, 45, 29]

W = 1×5

11 56 22 45 29

[Z idx] = mink(W,2)

Z = 1×2

11 22

idx = 1×2

1 3
