Ho to find a position

i have to find out the value before max in the array. like

a=[1 2 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 4 3 2 2 1 6 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 3 4 2 2 4]

size of a=29

max in a=6 in 15th position

what i have to do is

write a function that will return the 12th position in the array by evaluating one by one data points in the array before the max occurs.

Is there a difference to your question called "how to do"? Instead of asking a question twice here, and in CSSM also, it would be better to react to the answers until you found the solution such that you can accept an answer finally.

[c in]=max(a) % returns position of maximum
a(in-1) % value before the maximum - to be modfied for your needs
