how to find the position of the max componunt

for exemple if i have this matrix

1 0.5

2 0.2

3 0.4

4 0.7

5 0.6

left side is just the lebel to show the position. and I want to know the max value of the right side's components

in this case. [4 0.7 ]

0.7 for being the largest on left side and 4 for its position

and when I use max function, I only get [5 0.7] the max value of both side.

what should i do :(

Call max() with two output arguments and only input the columns you are interested in getting the max for,

[maxvalue, maxlocation]=max(yourMatrix(:,2))
