Assigning an arbitrary number to an array

2 views (last 30 days)
My code is
x = [2.32, 4.23, 1.92, 3.24, 2.13];
points = [3, 1, 2];
first_answer = x(points);
second_answer = min(first_answer);
third_answer =
the first_answer gives 1.92, 2.32, 4.23 the second_answer gives 1.92 and i need the first answer to give me the value 3 which is the smallest x-value, not it's position of X which is 1 but the number it is assigned to which is 3. I do not know what code I need to achieve this. Thanks in advance for any help thanks

Do you actually mean the third answer? It seems that you are asking about the third answer, not the first answer.

x = [2.32, 4.23, 1.92, 3.24, 2.13];
points = [3, 1, 2];
first_answer = x(points);
[second_answer,idx] = min(first_answer);
third_answer = points(idx)
third_answer = 3
