Function Max for Cell

How to use function max for cell?

Before I used max(b), but I am getting error and i use ([b{:}]) it looks like sum

this's my code

a= input ('Number of Participant :');

for c = 1:a

    str1 = ['What''s the name (',num2str(c),') :'];

    str2 = ['What''s his/her value (',num2str(c),') :'];

    b{c,1} = input(str1,'s');

    b{c,2} = input(str2);

end

disp(b)

[m,n]= size (b);

Mb=max([b{:}])

when i try that code above, i think the result is total of value

i dont want total of value, i just want max of the value

anybody know?

please help me :)

Mb=max([b{:}]) is correct

or

Mb=max(b{:})

Try

Mb = max([b{:,2}]);

when i try to input a data, it just give the result "one value"

example :

___________________________________

the number of participant : 2

what's the name : juni

what's his/her value of first test : 90

what's his/her value of second test : 80

what's the name : andy

what's his/her value of first test : 75

what's his/her value of second test : 75

___________________________________

when i see the result, it just show one value

the result is just show Mb = 90 not Mb = 90 80

how to show all value of one participant if his/her value is the highest?

Why are you storing the results in a cell array? Also, using input command is going to be very frustrating for users. There must be a better way f getting input, like edit a text file?

If you insist though:

c{1,2} = 11;
c{2,2} = 22;
c{3,2} = 33;
[c{:,2}]'
