matlab - Index exceeds matrix dimensions when finding max value

Question

I have been trying to find the max value from an array. But I keep getting the following error. Please advise.

scores = [19212       56722       73336       44805       47268]

max(scores)

??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Answer 1

Have you defined an array called max ?

scores = [19212       56722       73336       44805       47268 ]

max(scores)

ans = 73336

If I define an array called max

max=[1:10]

max(scores)

??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Check by using the which function

which max

max is a variable.

It should be

which max
