How to count the maximum and minimum range of non-zeros elements?

let's suppose we have A of length 50 rows

how we can calculate the maximum range of non-zeros element and as well as minimum

A = [0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ]

In this case Max and Min should be,

Max = 5

Min = 2

Is there a straightforward solution to do this? without using complex looping because in my case data is too large approximately length of A is 220079705, your kind consideration will be highly regarded by all means,

Many Thanks

There are built-in functions for this...

length(find(A)) or length(find(A==0))

Sorry, but length(find()) won't work. See my answer below.

Use regionprops(), in the Image Processing Toolbox:

A = [0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 ]
props = regionprops(logical(A), 'Area');
allLengths = [props.Area];
minLength = min(allLengths)
maxLength = max(allLengths)

Thank you so much!

The code is working as expected and to the point!
